More nickels than quarters?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let x = how many nickels
\n" ); document.write( "Let y = how many quarters.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%3Ey\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Accounting for the money, \"0.05x%2B0.25y=3.40\", units of dollars.
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify this money equation. Solve it either for x in terms of y, OR for y in terms of x. Substitute this into the inequality.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This could have more than one solution. Be sure you identify the solutions which are WHOLE numbers for x and y.
