Question 928418: Sandra has some fives,tens and twenties. Altogether she has 27 bills worth $255. The number of tens is 6 more than the number of fives. Find the number of each type of bill she has. Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = number of fives
y = number of tens
z = number of twenties
---
x + y + z = 27
5x + 10y + 20z = 255
y = 6 + x
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y + z = 27
5x + 10y + 20z = 255
x - y = -6
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
