$150 in $5 dollar bills and $10 dollar bills,if three are more $5 dollar bills than $10 dollar bills, how many of each are there?
------
Quantity Equation: t = n + 3
Value Equation: 5t + 10n = 150 dollars
---------------------------------------
Modify:
t = n + 3
t + 2n = 30
----
Substitute for "t" and solve for "n":
n+3 + 2n = 30
3n = 27
n = 9 (# of $10 billes)
------
t = 12 (# of $5 bills)
==========
