Anthony earned $131 in tips last night while working at the restaurant. If his tips consisted of $1 bills and $5 bills only and he counted 47 bills in total, then how many $5 bills did Anthony receive?

21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = $1 bill

Let y = $5bill

Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation;

For the total number of bills;

.........equation 1

For the total number of tips;

..........equation 2

*Solving the linear equation by using the substitution method*

Making x the subject in equation 1:

.......equation 3

Substituting "x" into equation 2;

Simplifying the equation, we have;

y = 21 (For the $5 bills).

Therefore, Anthony received 21 pieces of the $5 bills.

To find x;

Substituting "y" into equation 3;

x = 26 (For the $1 bill).

the answer is (-8,-5)

step-by-step explanation:

the endpoint to midpoint is half the length. the length is (-2,-1) so when you are at the midpoint just add it to it to find your answer -6+(-2)= -8 and -4+(-1)=-5 so (-8,-5)
