\n" ); document.write( "You are told
\n" ); document.write( " $\"q+=+n+%2B+5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"25q+%2B+5n+=+425\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So
\n" ); document.write( " $\"25%28n%2B5%29+%2B+5n+=+425\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"25n+%2B+125+%2B+5n+=+425\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"30n+=+300\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n+=+10\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If n = 10, the q = 10+5 = 15\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Do 15 quarters and 10 nickels total 4.25?? \n" ); document.write( "
