d = number of dimes
\n" ); document.write( "q = number of quarters\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "d + q = 19
\n" ); document.write( "10d + 25q = 295\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the first equation by 25.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "25d + 25q = 475
\n" ); document.write( "10d + 25q = 295\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Subtract to get 15d = 180, so d = 12.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Mike had 12 dimes and \"7\" quarters.
