As we could "drag" these together, we could then do it the easy way.
56
+56
+56
-------
168
------------------------
Or we could also do the following:
56

3:
6

3= 18.
Carry the one.
5

3 = 15+1 (which was carried). = 16
(16+8) =
168
Answer:
A. The initial value is 100; it represents money left over from last year's fundraiser
Step-by-step explanation:
2(6y - 5) - 3y = 2
12y - 10 - 3y = 2
9y - 10 = 2
9y = 12
y = 4/3, or 1 1/3
2x - 3(4/3) = 2
2x - 12/3 = 2
2x - 4 = 2
2x = 6
x = 3
