Tina noticed juicy oranges in a shop and asked the shopkeeper for the price. He said each costs Rs. x. She bought 3 of them.
What is the coefficient of x after calculating the total amount spent by Rina and Tina, if Rina had already spent Rs. 6x + 4y?
The price for 3 oranges is Rs. 3x.
Rina had spent Rs. 6x + 4y.
So, the total amount spent is Rs. 6x + 4y + 3x = Rs. 9x + 4y.
Here, the coefficient of x is 9.
