You need to get rid of -6 by adding 6, you also need to add 6 to 18.
4x = 24
Now you need to get rid of the 4 attached to the variable, you do this by dividing 4 since it is multiplying, also dividing 4 and 24
x = 6
So the value of x is 6
Hope this helps! :)
Keeping in mind that "dx" is the delta x, or differential over the x-axis, whilst "dy" is the delta y or differential over the y-axis,
Y - x = 6
y + 2x = 57
2y - 2x =12
y + 2x = 57
∴3y = 69
y = 23
23 - x = 6
-x = -17
x =17
large van = 23
small van = 17
<span>d. suppose you have run the regression and afterward you want to introduce another orthogonal variable, say, xk 1 into the model. do you have to recompute all the previous coefficients 1 to k? why or why not?</span>
