.25x + 31-x = 20.50 is the second one where x= quarters which is 14

let darcys age = D
let chris age = C

D+C=25 (1)
D+2C=43 (2)

from (1) D=25-C
sub into (2) 25-C+2C=43
therefore C=18
sub into (1) D+18=25
therefore D=7

Darci is 7 and Chris is 18. 18+7=25 7=18=18=43

Dude these guys have already answered your question.
What pickle81 did is totally right for the first one, he gave you all the formulas and such.

and screech is right for the second one:
.25x + 31-x = 20.50 is the second one where x= quarters which is 14

.25x+31-x=20.50
-.75x=20.50-31
-.75x=-10.5
x=14
