$6.20 is the same as 620 cents. If you have d dimes, then they are worth 10d cents. If you have 8 more quarters than dimes you have d + 8 quarters and the quarters are worth 25(d+8) cents
So: 10d + 25( d + 8 ) = 620 cents

Remove parentheses with the distributive property:

10d + 25d + 200 = 620

35d = 420

so d = 420/35

You can do the arithmetic.
