Let F be the number of $5, T the number of $10, and Y the number of $20 bills.

\n" ); document.write( "\"A wallet contains $460 in $5, $10, and $20 bills.\"
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"5F%2B10T%2B20Y=460\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"The number of $5 bills exceeds twice the number of $10 bills by 4\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"F=2T%2B4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"the number of $20 bills is 6 fewer than the number of $10 bills.\"
\n" ); document.write( "3.\"Y=T-6\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute eq. 2 and 3 into eq. 1,
