Lets write down the information that we know.
Jessie has 7 stacks of 6 dimes, so Jessie has a total of 6*7 dimes
Dimes=7*6=42dimes
Jessie has 42 dimes, but then she found another one so lets add one more dime.
42+1=43 dimes
Jessie has 8 stacks of 5 nickels, so Jessie has 8*5 nickels
Nickels=8*5=40nickels
Jessie has 40 nickels, but then she found another one so lets add 1 to the total number of nickels.
40+1=41nickels
Now we can answer the question.
How many dimes and nickels does jessie have in all?
nickels+dimes=
41+43=84 coins
Jessie has 84 coins in total
Hello!
To do this we need to combine like terms, meaning combine the terms that have the same variables.
b is one variable that can be combined:
-2b - 6 + 3b - 2
b - 6 - 2
Now, combine the digits:
b - 8
Hope this helped!
It's not time to try and simplify it until you HAVE an equation. You won't have an equation until you write down what. V*4x is equal to.
