---------------
Quantity Equation: f + t = 76
Value Equation::: 5f+10t = 580
----------------------------------
Solving by elimination:
Multiply thru the 1st equation by 5 to get:
5f + 5t = 5*76
5f +10t = 580
-----
Subtract 1st from 2nd and solve for "t":
5t = 200
t = 40 (# of ten-dollar bills)
----
Since f+t=76, f = 76-40 = 36 (# of five-dollar bills)

f+t=76 t=76-f
5f+10(76-f)=580
5f+760-10f=580
-5f=-180
f=36 fives
t=76-36
t=40 tens
----------
400+180=580
