Let \"+n+\" = number of nickels
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+d+\" = number of dimes
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+n+%2B+d+=+100+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+5n+%2B+10d+=+700+\" ( in cents )
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+n+%2B+2d+=+140+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract (1) from (2)
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+n+%2B+2d+=+140+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+-n+-+d+=+-100+\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d+=+40+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+n+%2B+d+=+100+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+n+=+60+\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "There are 60 nickels and 40 dimes
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+5n+%2B+10d+=+700+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+5%2A60+%2B+10%2A40+=+700+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+300+%2B+400+=+700+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+700+=+700+\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
