\r\n" );
document.write( "Let the number of dimes be x\r\n" );
document.write( "Then number of quarters = 25 - x\r\n" );
document.write( "Value of dimes = 10*x cents\r\n" );
document.write( "Value of quarters = (25 - x) * 25 cents\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Total value = \r\n" );
document.write( "Simplifying\r\n" );
document.write( " or \r\n" );
document.write( "So he has  dimes and  quarters.\r\n" );
document.write( "Check: Sum = 11 * 10 + 14 * 25 = 110 + 350 = 460. Correct!\r\n" );
