Add the expressions in the boxes to simplify the given expressions involving 8.418.41, 3b3b, 3.463.46, and 3.78b3.78b.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. The expressions involve real numbers.
2. The expressions on both sides of the equation are equal.
3. We are to simplify and combine like terms.

STEP 2

First, we will combine like terms on the left-hand side of the equation. Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power.
(8.41+3b)+(3.46+3.78b) (8.41 + 3b) + (3.46 + 3.78b)

STEP 3

Combine the constant terms (terms without variables) on the left-hand side.
8.41+3.46 8.41 + 3.46

STEP 4

Calculate the sum of the constant terms.
8.41+3.46=11.87 8.41 + 3.46 = 11.87

STEP 5

Combine the terms with the variable bb on the left-hand side.
3b+3.78b 3b + 3.78b

STEP 6

Calculate the sum of the terms with the variable bb.
3b+3.78b=6.78b 3b + 3.78b = 6.78b

STEP 7

Now, we have the simplified left-hand side of the equation.
11.87+6.78b 11.87 + 6.78b

STEP 8

Next, we will express the right-hand side of the equation in a similar form to the left-hand side by filling in the boxes with the appropriate terms.
(3b+)+(8.41+) (3b + \square) + (8.41 + \square)

STEP 9

From the left-hand side, we know the term that combines with 3b3b is 6.78b6.78b and the term that combines with 8.418.41 is 11.8711.87.

STEP 10

Fill in the boxes on the right-hand side with the corresponding terms.
(3b+6.78b)+(8.41+11.87) (3b + 6.78b) + (8.41 + 11.87)

STEP 11

Now, we have the right-hand side of the equation expressed with the correct terms.
(3b+6.78b)+(8.41+11.87)=11.87+6.78b (3b + 6.78b) + (8.41 + 11.87) = 11.87 + 6.78b

STEP 12

The final step is to write the simplified expression that represents the sum of both sides of the equation.
11.87+6.78b 11.87 + 6.78b
The boxes should be filled with the following values:
(8.41+3b)+(3.46+3.78b)=(3b+6.78b)+(8.41+11.87)=11.87+6.78b \begin{aligned} (8.41+3 b)+(3.46+3.78 b) & =(3 b+6.78 b)+(8.41+11.87) \\ & =11.87 + 6.78b \end{aligned}
