You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Given: $\"0.05X+%2B+0.1X+=+3.6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Factor out an X
\n" ); document.write( " $\"X%2A%280.05%2B0.1%29+=+3.6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify
\n" ); document.write( " $\"X%2A%280.15%29+=+3.6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 0.15
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28X+=+24%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "You will have 24 nickels and 24 dimes. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
