Let's break down the situation step by step:
1. Sabrina starts with 84 coins.
2. She gives away 6 coins to a friend, so the remaining coins are:
\[ 84 - 6 = 78 \]
3. She then puts the remaining coins (78) into 3 bags, with an equal number of coins in each bag. If we let \( c \) represent the number of coins in each bag, we can set up the equation:
\[ 3c = 78 \]
Finally, we can complete the initial equation you provided:
\[ 84 = 6 + 3c \]
So the completed equation representing this situation is:
\[ 84 = 6 + 3c \]
