let x and y be the number of 5 and 50 dollar notes respectively
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "a)x+y=16...........eq 1
\n" ); document.write( " 5x+50y=350.......eq 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "b)rewrite eq 1 to x=16-y and plug it into eq 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "5(16-y)+50y=350
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "80-5y+50y=350
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "45y=270
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y=6%29\" 50 dollar notes
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x=16-y=16-6=\"highlight%2810%29\" 5 dollar notes
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
