So here is how you'll get the answer.
Let x be the number of quarters in the jar. 
Then 53-x is the number of nickels in the jar. 
<span>We also know .25x + 0.05 (53-x) = 10.25
</span>So next, we solve for x.
.25x + 2.65 - 0.05x = 10.25
0.2x +2.65 = 10.25
0.2x = 10.25 -2.65
0.2x = 7.40
x =37
Therefore, there are 37 quarters in the jar.
53-37 is 16. So there are 16 nickels in the jar.
Hope this answer helps.

One ordered pair (a,b) satisfies the two equations ab^4 = 384 and a^2 b^5 = 4608. What is the value of a in this ordered pair?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: a = 3∛2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

ab⁴ = 384     --> a = 384/b⁴

Substitute a = 384/b⁴ into the second equation to solve for "b".

   a²b⁵ = 4608

\bigg(\dfrac{384}{b^4}\bigg)^2\cdot b^5=4608\\\\\\\dfrac{147,456b^5}{b^8}=4608\\\\\\\dfrac{147,456}{b^3}=4608\\\\\\\dfrac{147,456}{4608}=b^3\\\\\\32=b^3\\\\\\\sqrt[3]{32} =b\\\\\\2\sqrt[3]{4} =b

Substitute b = 2∛4 into the first equation to solve for "a".

ab⁴ = 384

a(2∛4)⁴ = 384

        a  = 384/(2∛4)⁴

        a = 24/4∛4

           = 6/∛4

           = 6(∛2)/2

           = 3∛2
