Let d be the number of dimes and q be the number of quarters
\n" ); document.write( "\"120+=+d+%2B+q\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"120-q+=+d\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "dimes are worth 10 cents, quarters are worth 25. You have a total of 2355 cents\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2355+=+10%28120+-+q%29+%2B+25q\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2355+=+1200+-+10q+%2B+25q\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2355+=+1200+%2B+15q\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1155+=+15q\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"77+=+q\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "With 77 quarters and a total of 120 coins, that leaves 43 dimes
