Answer:

There are 14 $ 10 bills, 8 $ 20 bills and 32 $ 5 bills.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of $10 bills,

∵ The number of $20 bills is 6 fewer than the number of $10 bills,

So, the number of $ 20 bills = x - 6,

Also, the number of $5 bills exceeds twice the number of $10 bills by 4,

So, the number of $ 5 bills = 2x + 4

Thus, the total amount = $ 10 × x + $ 20 ( x - 6 ) + $ 5(2x + 4)

= 10x + 20x - 120 + 10x + 20

= (40x - 100) dollars

According to the question,

40x - 100 = 460

40x = 460 + 100

40x = 560

⇒ x = 14

Hence, the number of $ 10 bills is 14, $ 20 bills is 8 and $ 5 bills is 32.

Answer:

Number of $5 bills = 32

Number of $10 bills = 14

Number of $20 bills = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x number of $5, y number of $10 and z number of $20

The number of $5 bills exceeds twice the number of $10 bills by 4.

Therefore, x = 2y + 4

The number of $20 bills is 6 fewer than the number of $10 bills.

Therefore, z = y - 6

A wallet contains $460 in $5, $10, and $20 bills.

Therefore,

5x + 10y + 20z = 460

Substitute x and y into equation

    5(2y+4) + 10y + 20(y-6) = 460

10y + 20 + 10y + 20y - 120 = 460

                           40y - 100 = 460

                                    40y = 460 + 100

                                    40y = 560

                                      y = 14

  • Put the value of y into x = 2y + 4 and solve for x

                                      x = 2(14) + 4

                                      x = 32

  • Put the value of y into z = y - 6 and solve for z

                                      z = 14 - 6

                                      z = 8

Hence, the each type of bills,

Number of $5 bills = 32

Number of $10 bills = 14

Number of $20 bills = 8

A rectangular deck is 12 ft by 14 ft. When the length and width are increased by the same amount, the area becomes 288 sq . By h
julia-pushkina [17]
Well to get the area of 288 the dimensions would be a couple of things but 16 ft by 18 ft seems to work, so the dimensions increase by 4 ft on each side.

12+4=16
14+4=18

18*16=288
