\r\n" );
document.write( "Let Q be the number of quarters - then the number of nickels is (53-Q).\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    5*(53-Q) + 25Q = 605,   or\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    5*53 - 5Q + 25Q = 605\r\n" );

document.write( "ANSWER.  17 quarters and  53 - 17 = 36 nickels.\r\n" );
