6n−20=−2n+4(1−3n)
Simplify both sides of the equation.
−6n−20=−2n+4(1−3n)
−6n+−20=−2n+(4)(1)+(4)(−3n)(Distribute)
−6n+−20=−2n+4+−12n
−6n−20=(−2n+−12n)+(4)(Combine Like Terms)
−6n−20=−14n+4
−6n−20=−14n+4
Add 14n to both sides.
−6n−20+14n=−14n+4+14n
8n−20=4
Add 20 to both sides.
8n−20+20=4+20
8n=24
Divide both sides by 8.
8n/8 = 24/8

Answer: If the number of bills counted is odd, the ones digit is 5; if the number of bills is even, the ones digit is 0.
Explanation
1) Simulate the counting of the bills:
number of bills counted value ones digit
1 5 5
2 5 + 5 = 10 0
3 10 + 5 = 15 5
4 15 + 5 = 20 0
5 20 + 5 = 25 5
6 25 + 5 = 30 0
2) Pattern: you can see that the ones digit alreternate: 5, 0, 5, 0, 5, 0, ...
If the number of bills counted is odd the ones digit is 5, if the number of bills is even the ones digit is 0.
