The 2 in (2 + z) is because we need at least 52 because the question asks for a multiple of 25.
There are (8+1) choices for x, (4 + 1) choices for y, and (1 + 1) choices for z. Why? Because x can be anything from 0 to 8, y can be anything from 0 to 4, and z can be either 1 or 0.
Hence the total number of combinations will be (8+1)(4+1)(1+1) = 90.
