I don't get this. Is there a solution? Here is the question: Daniel has 30 coins. He only has dimes and nickels. The total value of the coins is $1.45. How many dimes and nickels dos Daniel have?
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "If they are all nickels it would be $1.50, so there's no solution.
\n" ); document.write( "=====
\n" ); document.write( "Using math:
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "n + d = 30 ---> d = 30 - n
\n" ); document.write( "5n + 10d = 145
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Sub for d
\n" ); document.write( "5n + 10*(30-n) = 145
\n" ); document.write( "5n + 300 - 10n = 145
\n" ); document.write( "-5n = -155
\n" ); document.write( "n = 31
\n" ); document.write( "d = -1
