d + q = 21 subtract quarters from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "d = 21 - q
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\n" ); document.write( "0.10d + 0.25q = 4.35 substitute for d:
\n" ); document.write( "0.10(21 - q) + 0.25q = 4.35
\n" ); document.write( "2.1 - 0.10q + 0.25q = 4.35
\n" ); document.write( "0.15q = 2.25
\n" ); document.write( "q = 2.25/0.15
\n" ); document.write( "q = 15 She has 15 quarters and
\n" ); document.write( "21-15 = 6 dimes
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\n" ); document.write( "Check
\n" ); document.write( "0.10(6) = 0.60
\n" ); document.write( "0.25(15) = 3.75
\n" ); document.write( "0.60 + 3.75 = 4.35 correct
\n" ); document.write( "
