Mr.Bob cashed $185 in his bank. He received $1 bills, $5 bills,and $10 bills
in this order.the numbers of these three types of bills he received were three consecutive integers. How many bills of each type did he receive?

# of $1 bills: x-1
# of $5 bills: x
# of #10bills: x+1
-----
Value Equation:
1*(x-1) + 5*x + 10*(x+1) = 185 dollars
------
x-1 + 5x + 10x + 10 = 185
16x = 176
x = 11
----
# of $1 bills = x-1 = 11-1 = 10
----
# of $5 bills = 11
----
# of $10 bills = x+1 = 12
