d = number of dimes
\n" ); document.write( "n = number of nickels\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "10d + 5n = 200
\n" ); document.write( "d + n = 26\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the second equation by 5.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "10d + 5n = 200
\n" ); document.write( "-(5d + 5n = 130)
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "5d = 70
\n" ); document.write( "d = 14\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There are 14 dimes and 12 nickels.
\n" ); document.write( "
