\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "d = q+3
\n" ); document.write( "n = q-6
\n" ); document.write( "d + n + q = 63
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"d\" and for \"n\"; solve for \"q\".
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "q+3 + q-6 + q = 63
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "3q -3 = 63
\n" ); document.write( "3q = 66
\n" ); document.write( "q = 22 (# of quarters)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "d = q+3 = 25 (# of quarters)
