Hi,
\n" ); document.write( "*Note: Let x be the number of $5 bill for ex:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The question states the following to be true:
\n" ); document.write( "(76-x)would be the Number of $10 bill and:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2Ax+%2B+10%2876-x%29+=+580\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify and Solve for x
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2Ax+%2B+10%2A76-10x+=+580\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2Ax+%2B+760+-10x+=+580\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-5%2Ax%2B+760+=+580\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"180+=+5x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"36=+x\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "36 $5s and 40 $10s
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Check your answer:
\n" ); document.write( "5*36 + 10*40 = 580 \n" ); document.write( "
