You can put this solution on YOUR website!
d = no. of dimes
\n" ); document.write( "n = no. of nickels
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for each statement
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Sue has $1.60 in dimes and nickels.
\n" ); document.write( ".10d + .05n = 1.60
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " If she has 7 more dimes than nickels,
\n" ); document.write( "d = n + 7
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "In the first equation replace d with (n+7)
\n" ); document.write( ".10(n+7) + .05n = 1.60
\n" ); document.write( "distribute .1
\n" ); document.write( ".10n + .70 + .05n = 1.60
\n" ); document.write( ".15n = 1.60 - .70
\n" ); document.write( ".15n = .90
\n" ); document.write( "n = .90/.15
\n" ); document.write( "n = 6 nickels
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can find the no. of dimes. (d = 6 + 7)
\n" ); document.write( "Check your solutions in the 1st equation
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "how many of each coin does she have? \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
