Answer:

  • b.  6 dimes and 14 quarters
  • d.  d + (d + 8) = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let d represent the number of dimes, then d+8 represents the number of quarters. The total number of coins is the sum of the numbers of each:

  d +(d +8) = 20 . . . . . matches choice d

Collecting terms, we have ...

  2d +8 = 20

  d +4 = 10 . . . . . divide by 2

  d = 6 . . . . . . . . subtract 4

The kid has 6 dimes and 14 quarters. (matches choice b)
