Real world example could be:
Consider x is time in minutes
Consider y is the amount of fish food required in grams
The equation could then represent how much food (in grams) that a fish needs to be fed x minutes after it was previously fed.
Rearrange slightly...
12xy-8y-9x+6 now factor 1st and 2nd pair of terms
4y(3x-2)-3(3x-2)
(4y-3)(3x-2)
If the center of town is the origin then 4 blocks west and 1 block south would be 4 blocks to the left and 1 block down or (-4, -1) house 3 block east and 2 blocks north would be 3 blocks to the right and 2 blocks up or (3, 2) use the distance formula to find the distance between two points. That's all I know! hope this helps!~ just remember to use the distance formula to find the distance between two points.
