Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d represent the number of dimes. Then 81-d is the number of nickels and the total value in cents is ...
10d +5(81-d) = 530
5d +405 = 530 . . . eliminate parentheses
d +81 = 106 . . . . . divide by 5
d = 25 . . . . . . . . . subtract 81; number of dimes
81 -d = 81 -25 = 56 . . . . . number of nickels
There are 25 dimes and 56 nickels in the box.

It usually works well to let the variable represent the amount of the highest-value contributor (dimes). This keeps the numbers positive as the solution progresses.
Answer: 60 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
It’s a straight line, which means it’s 180 degrees
The angle of one side is given; which is 120 degrees
Now, we just need to subtract it from 180 to get the other angle
180-120 = 60 degrees
