3 consecutive integers can be defined as:
\n" ); document.write( "x
\n" ); document.write( "x+1
\n" ); document.write( "x+2
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "We're told these correspond to $1 bills, $5 bills, and $10 bills.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x + 5(x+1) + 10(x+2) = 185
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x +5x +5 + 10x + 20 = 185
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "16x + 25 = 185
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "16x = 160
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x = 10 = number of $1 bills
\n" ); document.write( "x+1 = 11 = number of $5 bills
\n" ); document.write( "x+2 = 12 = number of $10 bills
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Check the value to be sure this is the answer.
\n" ); document.write( "1(10) + 5(11) + 10(12) = 10 + 55 + 120 = 185
\n" ); document.write( "Correct.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Done. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
