Alex has \"D\" dimes and \"N\" nickels.
\n" ); document.write( "The total count is \"D%2BN\".
\n" ); document.write( "Each dime is worth 10 and each nickel is worth 5.
\n" ); document.write( "Total value equation:
\n" ); document.write( "\"10D%2B5N=95\"
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"2D%2BN=19\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Total coin count equation:
\n" ); document.write( "\"D%2BN=1%2B2D\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"N=1%2BD\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute eq. 2 into eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( "\"2D%2B%281%2BD%29=19\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3D=18\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28D=6%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then from eq. 2,
\n" ); document.write( "\"N=1%2B6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28N=7%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
