No.

I have the same equation you have figure out.

i figure out the problem i receive this answer 22
x = 5 dollar bills
y = 10 dollar bills

5x + 10y = 350
x + y = 46

x = 46 - y

5(46-y) + 10y = 350
230 - 5y + 10y = 350
5y = 120
y = 24

There are 24 ten-dollar bills and 22 five-dollar bills.
24 tens and 22 five
