Suppose y=0. That means 
<span>x+z = 18 </span>
<span>x-z = 26/5 </span>

<span>x = 58/5 </span>
<span>z = 32/5 </span>

<span>So, the largest x can be is 58/5 </span>
<span>Now, suppose we toss in y. If we subtract y/2 from both x and z, then the difference between x and z is still 26/5, and the sum is </span>

<span>(x-y/2) + y + (z-y/2) = x+z = 18 </span>

<span>For example, if y = 4, </span>

<span>x = 48/5 </span>
<span>y = 20/5 </span>
<span>z = 22/5 </span>

<span>x-z is still 26/5, and the sum is still 18. </span>

vampirchik [111]
Y = 0.012x + 57,000

12% translates to 0.012. That number is in front of the x because it changes yearly.

The 57,000 is added afterwards (b) because it was there from the beginning

Factor the expression by finding the GCF. 16m2 − 12m
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

4m(4m-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

16m^2 − 12m

16 m^2 = 2*2*2*2*m*m

12m = 2*2*3*m

The greatest factor for 16m^2 and 12m is 2*2*m  or 4m

Factor out 4m

16 m^2 = 2*2*2*2*m*m = 4m(2*2m)=4m(4m)

12m = 2*2*3*m = 4m(3)

Factoring out 4m

16m^2 − 12m

4m(4m-3)
