\n" ); document.write( "Value:::: 10d + 25q = 440 cents
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity: q = d + 5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"q\" and solve for \"d\":
\n" ); document.write( "10d + 25(d+5) = 440
\n" ); document.write( "10d + 25d + 125 = 440
\n" ); document.write( "35d = 315
\n" ); document.write( "d = 9 (# of dimes)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"q\":
\n" ); document.write( "q = d+5
\n" ); document.write( "q = 14 (# of quarters)
