Q : A certain number of nickels, two more dimes than nickels and two more quarters than dimes is worth $1.60. Find how many of each kind there are. Its supposed to be an alebra question. I need too set up and equation, show my work and provide a table for full marks. This question is just so hard, i really need the help please & thanks. For the table i managed too put it like this.

A certain number of nickels, two more dimes than nickels and two more quarters than dimes is worth $1.60.
\n" ); document.write( " Find how many of each kind there are
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let n = no. of nickels
\n" ); document.write( "Let d = no. of dimes
\n" ); document.write( "Let q = no. of quarters
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for each phrase
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " \"two more dimes than nickels\"
\n" ); document.write( "d = n + 2
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "n = d - 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"and two more quarters than dimes\"
\n" ); document.write( "q = d + 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"is worth $1.60.\"
\n" ); document.write( ".05n + .10d + .25q = 1.60
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "In the above equation; replace n with (d-2), replace q with (d+2), find d
\n" ); document.write( ".05(d-2) + .10d + .25(d+2) = 1.60
\n" ); document.write( ".05d - .10 + .10d + .25d + .5 = 1.60
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( ".05d + .10d + .25d - .10 + .50 = 1.60
\n" ); document.write( ".40d + .40 = 1.60
\n" ); document.write( ".40d = 1.60 - .40
\n" ); document.write( ".4d = 1.20
\n" ); document.write( "d = 1.20/.4
\n" ); document.write( "d = 3 dimes
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "I'll let you find the nickels and quarters from the other equations and set up your table \n" ); document.write( "
