\n" ); document.write( "let d = no. of dimes
\n" ); document.write( "let q = no. of quarters
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for each statement
\n" ); document.write( "\"Maria has $5.05 in quarters and dimes.\"
\n" ); document.write( ".10d + .25q = 5.05
\n" ); document.write( "\" The number of quarters exceeds twice the number of dimes by 1.\"
\n" ); document.write( "q = 2d + 1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "In the 1st equation replace q with (2d+1)
\n" ); document.write( ".10d + .25(2d+1) = 5.05
\n" ); document.write( ".10d + .50d + .25 = 5.05
\n" ); document.write( ".60d = 5.05 - .25
\n" ); document.write( ".60d = 4.80
\n" ); document.write( "d = 4.80/.60
\n" ); document.write( "d = 8 dimes
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "q = 2(8) + 1
\n" ); document.write( "q = 17 quarters
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can confirm this, replace d and q in the 1st equation\r
