\r\n" );
document.write( "The condition gives you these two equations:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "d - q = 24,   (1)\r\n" );
document.write( "10d = 25q     (2)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Cancel equation (2) by the factor 5 (both sides. You will get\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2d = 5q       (3)    \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "instead of (2).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now express d = 24 + q from (1) and substitute it into (3), replacing d. You will get\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2(24+q) = 5q  --->  48 + 2q = 5q  --->  3q = 48  --->  q =  = 16.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Answer.  16 quarters and 16 + 24 = 40 dimes.\r\n" );
