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.

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Bicycles = 315

Scooters = 630, basic mathematics. The most effective method for these questions is substitution. But I might have intermingled them so double check

How to answer this on descending powers of x please help pretty please
zheka24 [161]

Answer:  25x² - 64

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

  (5x + 8)(5x - 8)

=        5x(5x - 8)   +    8(5x - 8)

=      25x² - 40x    +    40x - 64

=      25x²         + 0x           - 64

=              \large\boxed{25x^2-64}

NOTE: descending powers means the biggest exponent goes first, then the next biggest exponent, etc.

For example: x⁴ then x³ then x² then x then the number (which is actually x⁰)
