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:
