(if 2 is a square)
6xy ( x2 - xy + y2)
= 6x3y - 6x2y2 - 6xy3 --------------the threes and twos on this line are squares and cubics. the six is just a whole number
Well depending on the equation you look at both sides and eliminate everything from both using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Ex:
3c-4=7 first add the 4 because you use the opposite type of operation so you add it to 7 which gives you:
3c=11 next you have to divide to get it alone
3c/3=11/3
which gives you
c= 3.66666666667
$3.78
because he is paid $0.14 per pound, if he brings 27 pounds it is
=0.14 x 27
=3.78
