p+n = 34
\n" ); document.write( "p = n+6 substitute for p in the equation above:
\n" ); document.write( "n+6+n = 34
\n" ); document.write( "2n = 28
\n" ); document.write( "n = 14
\n" ); document.write( "and since p+n = 34, substitute for n:
\n" ); document.write( "p+14 = 34
\n" ); document.write( "p = 20
\n" ); document.write( "Mariah has 20 pennies and 14 nickels \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
