Banknotes 6018

Juraj has only five euros and ten euros in the treasury, with a total value of 40 euros. How many banknotes does it have if there are six times less than ten euros?

Correct answer:

a =  6
b =  1

Step-by-step explanation:


5a + 10b = 40
b = a/6

5·a + 10·b = 40
b = a/6

5a+10b = 40
a-6b = 0

Row 2 - 1/5 · Row 1 → Row 2
5a+10b = 40
-8b = -8


b = -8/-8 = 1
a = 40-10b/5 = 40-10 · 1/5 = 6

a = 6
b = 1
