You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let $\"+n+\"$ = number of nickels
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+d+\"$ = number of dimes
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+5n+%2B+10d+=+1450+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+n+=+d+%2B+95+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute (2) into (1)
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+5%2A%28+d+%2B+95+%29+%2B+10d+=+1450+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+5d+%2B+465+%2B+10d+=+1450+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for $\"d\"$ , then $\"n\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
