Answer: 14a - b - 3c + 21
True. For example, if 2 is a, and b was 0, then ab would automatically be 0. Both a and b can be 0 though, but at least one of them must be zero.
First turn 1/2 to 2/4 so you have a common denominator.
Next turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions:
11 3/4 --> 47/4 and 8 2/4 --> 34/4
Subtract:
47/4 - 34/4 = 13/4
Divide:
13/4 = 3.25
3.25/2 --> 1.625 or 1 5/8
Therefore, he will have to place it 1 5/8 feet from each side

<span>2x-3y=18
when x = 3
2(3) - 3y = 18
6 - 3y = 18
-3y = 12
y = -4
so(3, -4) is the solution
