You need to line the numbers up then subtract
In order to solve this, you have to plug in all of the costs of the gifts and add them, which in all equals $36. since jim only has 1/4 of the money he needs to buy the gifts, you need to divide 36 by 4. this gives you 9, so now you know he has 9 dollars.
and to find out how much more money he needs, you can subtract 9 from 36 which represents a fourth of the required money. the answer is 27, that's how much jim needs in order to buy his gifts.
Start by multiplying 3 times 3x to get 9x. Then multiply 3 times -6 to get -18
After that your equation is 18=9x-18
Then your going to add 18 to each side so your equation should be 36=9x
Then devide each side by 9 so the answer will be x=4
You have to do 10.56 plus 88 and you will have your answer
