The Greek mathematician who wrote the most definitive text on geometry, one that is still referred to today is Euclid. Euclid of Alexandria is also called "Father of Geometry". He was a great Greek mathematician. Euclidean geometry is still widely taught in schools and colleges. I hope the answer comes to your help.
Given that <span>In a canoe race, team a is traveling 6 miles per hour and is 2 miles ahead of team b.
Team b is also traveling 6 miles per hour. The teams continue
traveling at their current rates for the remainder of the race.
The system of
linear equations that represents this situation is given by
d = 6t + 2
d = 6t

Firstly, you can combine like terms, or terms that have the same variable and exponents.
24x and 4x both have the variable "x" so it can be combined to make 28x
A coefficient is basically just the number that's used to multiply the variable
In this case, the variable is "x" and the number that will be multiplied to x is 28.
<em>The coefficient is 28.</em>
