Phillip has 10 coins in his pocket.

\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = no. of pennies & quarters
\n" ); document.write( "Let y = no. of dimes & nickels
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"He has one more nickel than pennies
\n" ); document.write( "y = x + 1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Total no. of coins
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 2y = 10
\n" ); document.write( "simplify, divide by 2
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "we know: y = x+1
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2 ea pennies & quarters
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3 ea nickels & dimes
