\n" ); document.write( "x+y=29------------------------------eq1
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "x+5y=73-------------------------------eq2
\n" ); document.write( "subtract eq1 from eq2:
\n" ); document.write( "4y=44
\n" ); document.write( "y=11 number of 5 dollar bills
\n" ); document.write( "from eq 1:
\n" ); document.write( "x+11=29
\n" ); document.write( "x=18---------------number of 1 dollar bills
\n" ); document.write( "CK
\n" ); document.write( "18+55=73
