To add numbers, their units should be the same. We need first to convert the quarters and dimes into cents.
4 quarters is equal to 100 cents, while a dime is equal to 10 cents.
In formula, the answer would be 100+10x. ( x refers to the number of dimes)
-|20| + |5| = -15
Steps:
Apply absolute rule: |a| = a, a >/ 0
|20| = 20
= -20+5
Apply absolute rule: |a| = a, a >/ 0
|5| = 5
= -20+5
Refine
= -15
Hope this helps you! (:
