d+q= 51 subtract d fom both sides
\n" ); document.write( "q= 51-d we'll use this value for q in the next equation
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "0.10d+0.25q= 10.35 substitute for q
\n" ); document.write( "0.10d+0.25(51-d)= 10.35
\n" ); document.write( "0.10d+12.75-0.25d= 10.35 Add q on left and subtract 12.75 on both sides
\n" ); document.write( "-0.15d= -2.4
\n" ); document.write( "d= -2.4/-0.15 (remember that -/-= +)
\n" ); document.write( "d= 16 Jeremy has 16 dimes
\n" ); document.write( "51-16= 35 Jeremy has 35 quarters
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "16(0.10)= 1.60
\n" ); document.write( "35(0.25)= 8.75
\n" ); document.write( "_ _ _ _ _ -------
\n" ); document.write( "Total: ... 10.35 We have the correct answer
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
