Just take each sentence and write it symbols.
d = n-1
n = 2 + 2q
10d + 5n + 25q = 570
substitute for d:
10(n-1) + 5n + 25q = 570
10n - 10 + 5n + 25q = 570
15n + 25q = 580
substitute for n:
15(2+2q) + 25q = 580
30 + 30q + 25q = 580
55q = 550
q = 10
so, n = 2+2*10 = 22
so, d = 22-1 = 21
10(21) + 5(22) + 10(25) = 210 + 110 + 250 = 5.70
d = n-1
n = 2 + 2q
10d + 5n + 25q = 570
substitute for d:
10(n-1) + 5n + 25q = 570
10n - 10 + 5n + 25q = 570
15n + 25q = 580
substitute for n:
15(2+2q) + 25q = 580
30 + 30q + 25q = 580
55q = 550
q = 10
so, n = 2+2*10 = 22
so, d = 22-1 = 21
10(21) + 5(22) + 10(25) = 210 + 110 + 250 = 5.70
