26*0.05 + 0.10x = 1.65\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1.30 + 0.10x = 1.65\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "0.10x = 1.65 - 1.30\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "0.10x = 0.35\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 0.35/(0.10)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 3.5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since we got a non-integer value, this means that we cannot get $1.65 in the bank. So there must be a typo.
