\n" ); document.write( "Let x=number of coins that Lewis has
\n" ); document.write( "And x=number of coins that Julie has also\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Value of Lewis's coins =$0.10x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Value of Julie's coins =$0.25x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now we are told that:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "$0.25x=$0.10x+$1.80 subtract $.0.10x from each side\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "$0.25x-$0.10x=$1.80 collect like terms\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "$0.15x=$1.80 divide both sides by $0.15\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=12-------------- number of coins that each have\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "CK
\n" ); document.write( "12*$0.25=12*$0.10+$1.80\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "$3.00=$1.20+$1.80\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "$3.00=$3.00\r
