Q. Candice is collecting donations from her neighbors for the local animal shelter. She started by adding some of her own money into the collection jar. After collecting dd more dollars in donations, she will have a total of 10+d10 + d dollars in the jar. Today, she collected $36\$36 more in donations.\newlineHow much money does Candice have in her collection jar?\newline$\$___________
  1. Identify total donations: First, let's identify the total donations Candice collected today. She collected $36\$36 more today, so we add this to the initial amount of 10+d10 + d dollars in the jar.
  2. Find value of extit{d}: Now, we need to find the value of extit{d}, which represents the additional donations Candice collected before today. Since the total amount collected today is extit{ extdollar}3636, we set up the equation for the total donations before today.
  3. Substitute value back: Substitute the value of dd back into the expression for the total amount in the jar.
