<span>Z=15+2(x+y)
Use distributive property
Z= 15 + 2x + 2y
Subtract 2y from both sides
Z - 2y= 15 + 2x
Subtract 15 from both sides
Z - 2y - 15= 2x
Divide 2 on both sides
Final Answer: Z - 2y - 15(All over 2)= x</span>
First you need to combine like terms.
9x + 11y + 13
A coefficient is the number that comes before the variable (which is y).
The coefficient for y is 11.
Constants are the numbers that do not have variables attached to them.
The constant is 13.
Hope this helps!
The first book can be any one of the 5.
For each of those . . .
The 2nd book can be any one of the remaining 4.
For each of those ...
The 3rd book can be any one of the remaining 3.
For each of those . . .
The 4th book can be either of the remaining 2.
For each of those . . .
The 5th book is the last one remaining.
Total number of ways to arrange the 5 books is
(5 · 4 · 3 · 2 · 1) = 120 .
Cross off alphabetically ascending (1 way), and alphabetically
descending (1 way), and you're left with (120 - 2) = 118 ways.
you move first the number without the variable to the other side with the opposite sign
-0.75p=0.25+2
-0.75p=2.25
then as -0.75 is multiplying you pass it to the other side dividing
p=2.25/-0.75
p=-3
