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.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2 1/2 + x = 5 1/3 Change the mixed numbers to improper fractions
5/2 + x = 16/3 The lowest common multiple is 6. Multiply by 6
5*3 + 6x = 16*2
15 + 6x = 32 Subtract 15 from both sides.
6x = 32 - 15
6x = 17 Divide by 6
6x/6 = 17/6
x = 2 5/6
Check
5/2 + 17/6 = 16/3
15/6 + 17/6 = 32/6
32/6 = 32/6 The question checks.
Answer:
$( 51x^2 + x + 29).
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount she had left = original amount - amount spent on the gloves
= 62x^2 + x - 4 - (11x^2 - 33) (note we place the amount spent on gloves in parentheses because we have to subtract the whole amount)
Now we distribute the negative over the parentheses:
= 62x^2 + x - 4 - 11x^2 + 33 ( note - 33 becomes -33*-1 = +33)
Now simplifying like terms:
= 51x^2 + x + 29 (answer).
