Let the number of half dollars be x,
number of quarters = x + 2
amount of half dollars = 0.5x
amount of quarters = 0.25(x + 2)
= 0.25x + 0.5
total amount = 0.5x + 0.25x + 0.5
= 0.75x + 0.5
0.75x + 0.5 = 11.75
0.75x = 11.25
x = 15
number of quarters = x + 2
= 15 + 2
= 17
There are 17 quarters and 15 half dollars.

Ok so basically your going to subtract 57-8 which is 49. So now you have 7y=49 so now divide 49 by 7 which is 7. So your answer is 7 and to check your work substitute 7 for y so.... 7(7)+8=57 so 57=57 which is accurate
