So you first need to calculate 8y 2 which is basically 8x2 which equals 16 then add 16y + 17y which is 33 so your answer is 33y+2
The variable a cannot be zero because that would make -9a = zero and 8 divided by zero is indeterminate.
So, say your # was 6,234,578. you would go to the seven and look to the number next to in, so 8, and if the neighbor is 5 or bigger, you make the number, in this case a 7 an 8. Last, you make all the other #s after the one you rounded 0. So the answer would be:
6,234,570.0
I solved it and i think the answer is 20 :)
