Answer:
Completing the square.
Step-by-step explanation:
since there is no "a" term and the bx term is even, completing the square is your best bet.
2000 divided by 0.08% and that's how many years
y+z=10
x+z=8
x+y=12
(y+z)-(x+z)=10-8
y-x=2
y-x=2
y+x=12
solve simultaneously
x=5, y=7
then substitute to get z=3
hence xyz=573
Like terms are when numbers with and without variables can be combined. ex: 4x+6-8x+=32
you would first combine 4x and -8x because they are the same.
