d is dimes. q is quarters.


\n" ); document.write( "d+q=86.


\n" ); document.write( ".1d +.25q = 14.60


\n" ); document.write( "Use the first equation to find d in terms of q.


\n" ); document.write( "d+q = 86


\n" ); document.write( "Subtract q from both sides.


\n" ); document.write( "d=86-q


\n" ); document.write( "Substitute that d value into the second equation.


\n" ); document.write( ".1(86-q) + .25q = 14.6


\n" ); document.write( "Multiply .1 by both terms in the ().


\n" ); document.write( "8.6 - .1q +.25q = 14.6


\n" ); document.write( "Combine the q's, subtract 8.6 from both sides.


\n" ); document.write( ".15q = 6


\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by .15


\n" ); document.write( "q=40


\n" ); document.write( "d = 86 - q = 86 - 40 = 46\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
