\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity: d + q = 8
\n" ); document.write( "Value Eq:10d + 25q = 155 cents
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru 1st by 10
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "10d + 10q = 80
\n" ); document.write( "10d + 25q = 155
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 1st from 2nd and solve for \"q\":
\n" ); document.write( "15q = 75
\n" ); document.write( "q = 5 (# of quarters)
