You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3X+%2B+3Y+%2B+AX+%2B+AY
It's a fact, not easy to find, sometimes
that the letters at the END of the alphabet,
U,V,W,X,Y, and Z
are used for variables that can be any
number, depending on other variables.
-----------------------------------------
The letters at the beginning of the
alphabet are used for CONSTANT variables,
A,B,C,D,E,F, ETC.
a constant varible can have any value, but
once you pick one, it never changes in the
equation in which it appears.
_________________________________________
Imagine that A+=+6.15 (or any number)
Then you have
3X+%2B+3Y+%2B+6.15X+%2B+6.15Y
9.15X+%2B+9.15Y
But I don't know what A really is, so
3X+%2B+3Y+%2B+AX+%2B+AY
%283+%2B+A%29X+%2B+%283+%2B+A%29Y answer
