You can put this solution on YOUR website!
q+d = 13 subtract q from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "d = 13-q We'll use this value for d next
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\n" ); document.write( "0.25q+0.10d = 2.05 substitute for d
\n" ); document.write( "0.25q+0.10(13-q) = 2.05 Multiply
\n" ); document.write( "0.25q+1.30-0.10q = 2.05 Subtract q on left and subtract 1.30 on both sides
\n" ); document.write( "0.15q = 0.75 divide both sides by 0.15
\n" ); document.write( "q = 5 you have 5 quarters and we said that:
\n" ); document.write( "d = 13-q = 13-5 = 8 dimes
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "0.25(5)+0.10(8) = 2.05
\n" ); document.write( "1.25+0.80 = 2.05 Add on left and you'll see we have the correct answer.
\n" ); document.write( "J
