If we let Q be the number of quarters and N be number of nickels, this is the formula we would use:
[1] 25Q + 5N = 635 (using cents instead of dollars)
We also know something about Q and N.
[2] Q + N = 51
So multiply both sides of the second equation by 5. The reason we do this is because we're going to need to cancel out one of the variables (either Q or N) to solve for the other one. If we multiply times 5, we'll have 5N in both equations.
5Q + 5N = 255
Now we have two equations, and the second one can be subtracted from the first.
25Q + 5N = 635
-(5Q + 5N) = -255
---------------------
20Q = 380
so
Q = 19
There are 19 quarters.
And since there are 51 coins in all, 51-19 = 32 nickels.

Renewable resources can be replaced in a reasonable amount of time, but nonrenewable resources cannot.
Step-by-step explanation:
Nonrenewable resources can be depleted within a human lifespan while renewable resources cannot. An examp0le of a non-renewable resource is crude oil. With continuous mining of crude oil, the natural reserves will continue to decrease until it gets even harder and more expensive to find.
Renewable resources, however, are cannot be depleted since they are ever self-renewing. An example is a wind and the sun whose energy can be harnessed to provide energy to power homes and businesses.
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
|2x + 5| = 13
-5 -5
|2x| = 8
2x/2 8/2
|x| = 4
285$ divided by 5$ = 57, 57 would be the correct answer.
