Answer:

x+(x-3)+(2*x)=41

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the other two bills are based of of a constant value for fives. Therefore, the fives can be x. There are 3 less tens than fives, so the number of tens equals x-3. We double the number of fives to get the number of ones, so the number of ones equals 2 times x. When we add all 3 of those together, we get our total number of 41. If you want to solve, you have to solve for x, then you can plug it back into the formula. I hope this helps!
