\n" ); document.write( "n = 83-d we'll use this value for n next:
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\n" ); document.write( "0.05n+0.10d = 6.95
\n" ); document.write( "0.05(83-d)+0.10d = 6.95
\n" ); document.write( "4.15-0.05d+0.10d = 6.95 Subtract d on left and 4.15 on both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "0.05d = 2.80 divide both sides by 0.05
\n" ); document.write( "d = 56 he has 56 dimes and
\n" ); document.write( "83-56 = 27 nickels
