Okay. In my opinion, all the class has to do is simplify the expressions and compare. But they want to substitute instead.
Well then.
First, let's notice that these are linear expressions, meaning that if they are equivalent then all their values match up.
Number 1 is not a good one. Just because they're both positive doesn't mean anything; they have to be <em>the same.</em>
This also eliminates 3.
Number 2 is a good one, but it's not as reliable. If, for instance, the two expressions are <em>not </em>equivalent and you get lucky enough to pick that one value they intersect at (or have in common), then you'd be wrong when you say they are equivalent.
Number 4 makes the most sense because if both expressions are equivalent, then every value matches up. If not, then only one will. So having two values to substitute will most definitely answer the class question.
Hope this helps, let me know if I messed up! ;)

Answer:
13
1.57
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have two equations regarding the number of quarters <em>q</em> and the number of pennies <em>p:</em>
<em />
<em />
Which represents the total amount of coins and
Which represents the total amount of money in dollars.
So we are asked to evaluation each expression for the situation in which we have 6 quarters and 7 pennies. Thus, plug 6 in for <em>q</em> and 7 in for <em>p:</em>
<em />
<em />
This tells us that we have 16 coins in total.
This tells us that we have a total amount of $1.57.
60 miles an hour for 45 minutes = 45 miles
50 miles per hour for 30 minutes = 25 miles
Total =70 miles
