Write the situation as a simultaneous eqution: 
x+y=87
10x+5y=545

Now solve for y by multiplying the whole of the first equation by the coefficient of x:
10x+10y=870
10x+5y=545

5y=325
y=65 nickels in the box
x+y=87
x=22 dimes in the box
To prove this is correct, we do (10 x 22)+(5 x 65)=545 cents ($5.45)

2. subtract 2b^2 from both sides. 
You will see that the blank space equals 3a<span>^2 then</span>
