Brittany has $9.50 in quarters and dimes.
\n" ); document.write( " The number of quarters she has is two more than twice the number of dimes.
\n" ); document.write( " Set up a system of equations and solve for the number of each type of coin she has.
\n" ); document.write( "what i have so far
\n" ); document.write( "q=quarters d=dimes
\n" ); document.write( ".25q+.10d=9.50
\n" ); document.write( "q = 2+2d
\n" ); document.write( "Now all you have to do is replace q with (2d+2) in the 1st equation
\n" ); document.write( ".25(2d+2) + .10d = 9.50
\n" ); document.write( ".50d + .5 + .10d = 9.50
\n" ); document.write( ".50d + .10d = 9.50 - .50
\n" ); document.write( ".60d = 9.00
\n" ); document.write( "d = \"9.00%2F.60\"
\n" ); document.write( "d = 15 dimes
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "I know you can find the number of quarters now. Check your solutions in the 1st equation.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
