===========
d + q = 97 (# of coins)
10d + 25q = 1780 (total value)
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 10D+25Q=1780 (D is the number of dimes, 10D is the value of D dimes)
D+Q=97 (total coins are 97)
10D+10Q=970 (multiplied the second equation by ten)
15Q=810 (sutract eq3 from eq1)
Q=54, D=43
