How do I set up the equation for \"A bank teller cashed a check for $1010 using $20 bills and $50 bills. The teller handed 26 more $20 bills than $50 bills to the customer. Determine how many of each denomination were handed to the customer.\"?
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = number of $50 bills
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "x+26 = number of $20 bills
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "50x + 20(x+26) = 1010
\n" ); document.write( "50x + 20x+520 = 1010
\n" ); document.write( "70x+520 = 1010
\n" ); document.write( "70x = 490
\n" ); document.write( "x = 70 (number of $50 bills)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "$20 bills:
\n" ); document.write( "x+26 = 70+26 = 96 \n" ); document.write( "
