    quarters are 20 in number.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let d represent dimes

    Let q represent quarters

    d + q = 35

    q = d+5

    d+d+5=35

    2d=35-5

    2d = 30

    d = 30/2

    therefore dimes = 15

    Substitute d for 15 to solve for q;

    q=15+5

    therefore quarters are 20 in number.
