A sum of money is made up of $5 bills and $10 bills.
------------------------------
The total number of $5 bills is at least 3 less than double the number of $10 bills.
Quantity Inequality: F >= 2T -3
----------------
That sum of money is a minimum of $65.
Value Inequality: 5F + 10T >= 65
----------------
That is what the inequalities look like.
