Answer:
u+2b=22
Unicycles have one wheel and bicycles have two, so the coefficient of 2 should go before the variable representing each bike.
It should equal 22 because 15 represents the total number of seats and not wheels.
Step-by-step explanation:
4y-17=43
move -17 to the other side
sign changes from -17 to +17
4y-17+17=43+17
4y=43+17
4y=60
divide both sides by 4 to get y by itself
4y/4=60/4
answer:
y=15
X² + xy - 2x - 2y
The first thing would be to break the polynomial up into pairs.
(x² + xy) + (-2x -2y)
Then you can factor them individually.
(x² + xy)
Both numbers have x in common, so you can factor it out and get
x(x + y)
Then you factor the other pair,
(-2x -2y)
Both numbers have -2 in them, so you can factor it out and get
-2(x + y)
Now your two pairs are
[x (x + y)] and [-2 (x + y)]
Notice that the two terms in parentheses are the same, so you can get rid of one and combine the two outside terms to get a final answer of
(x - 2)(x + y)
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the common difference, we take the 2nd term and subtract the first term
17-5 =12
We check it with the 3rd term minus the second term
29-17 = 12
The common difference is 12
We add 12 each time
