Algebra.Com's Answer #217168 by Alan3354(69443) You can put this solution on YOUR website! A collection of dimes and quarters is worth $25. There are 40 more dimes than quarters. How many of each are there? \n" ); document.write( "Let d=dimes \n" ); document.write( "q=quarters \n" ); document.write( "I came up with these two equations put they didn't work out: \n" ); document.write( "10d + 25q = 25 \n" ); document.write( "40 + q = d \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "One slip: \n" ); document.write( "10d + 25q = 2500 \n" ); document.write( "----------------- \n" ); document.write( "Smack yourself in the forehead, then you can finish it.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
