One of the other person's equations is WRONG! 
\n" );
document.write( "Correct equations: N = D + 4, or N - D = 4, or D = N - 4 ------ eq (i)
\n" );
document.write( ".05N + .1D = .8 ------ eq (ii)
\n" );
document.write( "Substitute N - 4 for D in eq (ii) to get value of N, or the number of nickels
\n" );
document.write( "Substitute the value of N into eq (i), which is the EASIER one, to get the value of D, or the number of dimes.
\n" );
document.write( "Last 2 lines could be omitted since you claim that you know how to solve the equations, and only need the setup. \n" );
