x + 7x = 56 + 8

Simplifying

x + 7x = 56 + 8

Combine like terms: x + 7x = 8x

8x = 56 + 8

Combine like terms: 56 + 8 = 64

8x = 64

Solving

8x = 64

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by '8'.

x = 8

Simplifying

x = 8

Hope this helps, and I hope this is the answer!

Steve had 7 more than twice as many quarters as dimes. if the total value of her coins was $10.15, how many of each kind of coin
NemiM [27]
X=quarters, y=dimes
7+2x=y
0.25x+0.1y=10.15
we substitute the first equation into the second equation
0.25x+0.1(7+2x)=10.15
0.25x+0.7+0.2x=10.15
0.45x+0.7-0.7=10.15-0.7
0.45x=9.45
0.45x/0.45=9.45/0.45
x=21 quarters
7+2x=y, x=21
7+2(21)=y
7+42=y
y=49 dimes
check: 0.25x+0.1y=10.15 when x=21, y=49
21(0.25)=5.25 in quarters
49(0.1)=4.90 in dimes 
5.25+4.90=10.15
