5^3(w) + 5^2(x) + 5y + z = 264.
What is the value of w + x + y + z.
---------------
125w + 25x + 5y + z = 264
--------------------------
There are an infinite number of solutions.
w = x = y = 0, z = 264 is one --> 264
w = x = z = 0, y = 52.8 is another --> 52.8
w = 1, x = 2, y = 3, z = 74 is another --> 80
