Let $1 bill be \"x\", $5 bill be \"y\" and $20 bill be \"x\". \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the number of $5 bills is equal to the sum of the other bills, we can write:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+y%2Bz\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " If the waellt contains \"ten\" bills \"total\", we can write:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+%2B+y+%2B+z+=+10\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since \"x+=+y%2Bz\" we can substitute it\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y+%2B+z+%2B+y+%2B+z+=+10\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2+Y+%2B+2+z+=+10\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2%28y%2Bz%29+=+10\" ..........divide both sides by \"2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y%2Bz+=+5\" .... if this is \"5\", => that \"x+=+5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the waellt contain \"five\" $5 bills.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
