Answer:
6 $10 bills
Step-by-step explanation:
First you have to make a system of equations like such
5x + 10y = 150
x + y = 24
Now you can use any strategy to simplify it but I'll use multiplication and the subtraction:
5x + 10y = 150 - 5x + 5y = 120 = 5y = 30 this simplified is y = 6. You then substitute 6 for y in either equation. x + 6 = 24 and make it on opposite sides. x = 18.
So 18 $5 bills and 6 $10 bills
