My father taught me a method that I call, 'throwing some thing over the wall'. There is a sample equation for the first picture that shows you how it works. It's a great way to help isolate the variable and I hope that it works for you. The second picture contains the answers I got through the use of this method. I'm sorry for the messy handwriting; I was on a bus.
This requires us to find the number of permutations of 6 different bands taken 2 at a time:
Answer:
Hello, There! i Noticed that your Question is 4.62 x 106 I'm Suggesting you mean 4.2 x 10 to the 6th power.

Hope this helps!
4t+6s=4524
t+s=925
Multiply the second equation by -4 to cancel the variable t
4t+6s=4524
-4t-4s=-3700
2s = 824
Divide both sides by 2
S= 412
925-412= 513
T=513
