\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I am sure you know this (Ha,Ha)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "total coins = 15\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if I have x dime then the balance will be 15-x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "dimes = x
\n" ); document.write( "quarters = 15-x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Value of dimes = 10x
\n" ); document.write( "Value of quarters = 25(15-x)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "total amount is $ 2.25 = 225 cents\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "10x+25(15-x)=225\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "10x+375-25x=225\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-15x+375=225
\n" ); document.write( "-375
\n" ); document.write( "-15x=225-375
\n" ); document.write( "-15x=-150\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "/-15
\n" ); document.write( "x=10 the number of dimes
\n" ); document.write( "balance 5 will be quarters\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "CHECK to make sure\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "10*10 + 25 *5 = 225\r
