If Courtney has 2 more dimes than quarters
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "So she has N quarters \r\n" );
document.write( "and she has N+2 dimes\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The N quarters have value of 25N cents.\r\n" );
document.write( "The N+2 dimes have value of 10(N+2) cents.\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "and they have a combined value of 265 cents,
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "So we add the values of the quarters and dimes and set the sum\r\n" );
document.write( "equal to 265 cents.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "25N + 10(N+2) = 265\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Solve that to get N, the number of quarters.\r\n" );
document.write( "Then add 2 to get the number of dimes.\r\n" );
document.write( "Check by figuring the amount of money in that many quarters and dimes,\r\n" );
document.write( "to see if it totals up to 265 cents.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
