You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let $1 bill be x
\n" ); document.write( "$10 bill will be 55-x
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "1*x+10(55-x)=100
\n" ); document.write( "x+550-10x=100
\n" ); document.write( "-9x+550=100
\n" ); document.write( "-550 -550
\n" ); document.write( "-9x=100-550
\n" ); document.write( "-9x=-450
\n" ); document.write( "/-9
\n" ); document.write( "x=-450/-9
\n" ); document.write( "x= 50 .... $1 bills
\n" ); document.write( "y = 5 $10 bills
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "m.ananth@ hotmail.ca
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "you can also solve by a linear system
\n" ); document.write( "x+y =55
\n" ); document.write( "x+10y=100
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "multiply first equation by -1
\n" ); document.write( "-x-y=-55
\n" ); document.write( "add it to second equation
\n" ); document.write( "9y = 45
\n" ); document.write( "/9
\n" ); document.write( "y =5 ... $10 bills
\n" ); document.write( "x = $1 bills
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
