Liz has five more than twice the number of quarters as Leslie.
\n" ); document.write( " Together they have a total of 74 quarters.
\n" ); document.write( " How many quarters does each girl have?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = no. of quarters that Liz has
\n" ); document.write( "Let y = no. that Les has
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for each statement:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"Liz has five more than twice the number of quarters as Leslie.\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2y + 5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\" Together they have a total of 74 quarters. \"
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 74
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "To solve, replace x in the above equation with (2y+5) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
