Jy has hiked 17km
He is 2km short of being half of the way done with hicking
Let the total distance he hiked be xkm
Then 1/2x = 17 + 2km
1/2x = 19km
x = 19 × 2 = 38km
The total distance he covered was 38km.
Group like terms , factor out common variable.
(xz+x) + (yz+y)
x(z+1) + y(z+1)
factor out (z+1)
= (z+1)(x+y)
= solution C.
