Answer:
x = 76
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles are same side interior angles and same side interior angles are supplementary, which means they add to 180
x+104 = 180
Subtract 104 from each side
x+104-104 = 180-104
x =76
Number of dimes: x
Number of quarters: x + 3
Answer:
B ) 0.10 x + 0.25 ( x + 3 ) = $1.80
Also we can solve this equation:
0.10 x + 0.25 x + 0.75 = 1.80
0.35 x = 1.80 - 0.75
0.35 x = 1.05
x = 1.05 : 0.35
x = 3, x + 3 = 6
He has 6 quarters and 3 dimes.
( 6 * 0.25 + 3 * 0.10 = 1.50 + 0.30 = $1.80 - correct)
