Answer:
the number that you divide by is called the dividend and the number which the dividend is being divided by is the divisor.
2 Letters chosen among 6 with no repeat:
a) the first has 6 ways
the second has 5 ways
Then to choose 2 letters among 6, with no repeat, there are 6x5 = 30 ways
b) 3 numbers are taken from the digits 0 through 9 with repeats (total = 10)
the first has 10 ways
the second has 10 ways
the third has 10 ways
Then to choose 3 numbers among 10, with repeat, there are 10x10x10= 1000 ways
And the total serial numbers that can be generated is
30 x 1000 = 3000
The y-term is -2y. We know this is the y-term because it is a multiple of the variable y and is not multiplied with any other variables.
A coefficient is a number that a variable is multiplied by. When there is a number followed by a variable, the number is the coefficient.
In this case, the coefficient of the y-term is -2. The coefficient is negative because 2y is being subtracted, meaning the 2 is negative rather than positive.
Hope this helps!
