Answer:
5 $20 bills and 7 $10 bills
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to have 12 bills, and their values must add up to $170. Start with a guess, and adjust the guess until you find the answer.
The total number of $20 bills and $10 bills must be 10.
I made a table below. I started with a guess and kept adjusting it.
Number of Number of Total
$20 bills $10 bills Value
8 ($160) 4 ($40) $200 Value is too high.
6 ($120) 6 ($60) $180 Value is close
5 ($100) 7 ($70) $70 Correct value
Answer: 5 $20 bills and 7 $10 bills
With this information we can set up 2 equations:
x + y = 312 (# of tickets sold for adults + # of tickets sold to adults = 312)
12x + 5y = 2204 ( # of tickets sold for adults times $12 + # of tickets sold to adults times $5 = $2204)
Where x is how many tickets were sold to adults and y how many tickets were sold to children
Now we can solve this system of equations by substitution:
isolate y in the first equation to find its value and plug it in the second equation
x + y = 312
isolate y by subtracting x from both sides:
x - x + y = 312
y = 312 - x
Apply y = 312 - x to the second equation
12x + 5y = 2204
12x + 5( 312 - x) = 2204
12x + 1560 - 5x = 2204
7x + 1560 = 2204
Subtract 1560 from both sides to isolate x
7x + 1560 - 1560 = 2204 - 1560
7x = 644
Divide both sides by 7
7/7x = 644/7
x = 92
Now plugin 92 for x in the first equation to find the value of y
x + y = 312
92 + y = 312
subtract 92 from both sides
92 - 92 + y = 312 - 92
y = 220
x = 92, y = 220
92 tickets were sold to adults and 220 tickets were sold to children
Hope it helps :)

Let Lisa's height be x, Ian's be y and Jim's be z
x = 10 + y . . . (1)
y = 14 + z . . . (2)
y + 14 + z + 14 = 170 + x + 14
y + z - x = 170 + 14 - 28 = 156 . . . (3)
From (2), z = y - 14 . . . (4)
Putting (1) and (4) into (3) gives,
y + y - 14 - 10 - y = 156
y = 156 + 24 = 180
Therefore, Ian's height is 180 centimeters
