Explanation:

During metamorphism, pressure and temperature, a times fluids causes the mineral composition and texture of a parent rock to change.

Texture is the arrangement and orientation of mineral grains in a rock.

  • Rocks that are made up of single mineral phase rarely undergo compositional changes.
  • Rocks like quartz sandstone and limestone do not change minerals.
  • In limestone, the mineral calcite is dominant. Since there are no other minerals to combine with, it's composition does not change.
  • But a metamorposed limestone undergoes changes in texture.
  • The searing heat and pressure causes the grains to recrystallized, they interlock to form a granular pattern.

Answer:

Answer is in the explanation.

Explanation:

Let's make a system of equations.

5x+10y=550

x+y=80

Now let's use elimination

-5x-5y=-400

5x+10y=550

__________

5y=150

y=30

Then subsitute 30 in for y to find x. This will leave you with x=50. You will have 50 $5 bills and 30 $10 bills. You can check by subsituting x for 50 and y for 30 in both equations to show why it is correct. Eliminating makes it easier to solve the system of equations.
