\"system%28n%2Bq=32%2C5n%2B25q=860%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"n%2B5q=172\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"and\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"n%2Bq=32\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Subtract one from the other to find q:
\n" ); document.write( "\"4q=140\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"q=35\"-------------NO. NO.
\n" ); document.write( "Try differently:
\n" ); document.write( "\"172-5q=32-q\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"172-32=-q%2B5q\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"140=4q\"-------------NO.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If all the 32 coins were quarters, that would give 0.25*32=8.00 dollars, less than the given amount of money; \r
