If you're moving up, you have to add seven. y=lxl+7
Answer:
a) 
b) 
c) 
d) 
Step-by-step explanation:
a) If the coins are all the same, we have a combination of 35 identical coins in 5 persons.
The amount of combinations is

being n the number of coins and r the number of grandchildren.
b) If the coins are different, the number of combinations can be calculated as:

c) If the coins are all the same, and each grandchild gets the same number of coins, there is only one combination for that (everyone gets 35/5=7 coins)
d) If the coins are all distinct, but each of the grandchildren get the same numer of coins, the expression to calculate this is:

So hmm check the picture below
and since you already covered solving system of equations, surely you'll breeze right through B)
Multiply by 4 on both sides. This results into:
24 = a + 8
If 8 is substracted in both sides then a would be:
16 = a
