Please help me with this story problem:
Reese has $225 in ten dollar bills and five dollar bills. The number of five dollar bills is 15 more than the number of ten dollar bills. How many of each does he have? This is how I set it up, but I didn't get the right answer.
x= number of ten dollar bills
y=number of five dollar bills
10x(+15)+5y=225
Thanks!
