d = number of dimes
\n" ); document.write( "q = number of quarters\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "10d + 25q = 260
\n" ); document.write( "d + q = 14\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the second equation by 10.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "10d + 25q = 260
\n" ); document.write( "-(10d + 10q = 140)
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "15q = 120
\n" ); document.write( "q = 8\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There were 8 quarters and 6 dimes.
