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:

solution:
x = number of fives = 9
y = number of tens = 15
z = number of twenties = 3
