\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity Eq:: n + d + q = 66 coins
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity Eq:: n = q + 8
\n" ); document.write( "Value Eq::::: 10d = 25q - 320
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Rearrange::
\n" ); document.write( "q+8 + (2.5q-32) + q = 66
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "4.5q = 98
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Comment:: Please check your posting. q does not appear to be a whole number.
\n" ); document.write( "But, it must be.
