FYI: cats don't like to get wet. Okay, so that fact won't be relevant every time you solve trig equations, but it happens to be this time.
Verifying trig identities is important, especially when you're about to let one of them into the country—which is why they should keep their pass...

…which of the following expressions tells how much he spends on rent per month?
- 00:26
And here are the potential answers...
- 00:30
OK, so this question is asking for an expression for how much John spends on rent per month.
- 00:36
Since we're not given any actual money values, we can use variables.
- 00:40
So to find rent spent per month, we have to find the
- 00:44
total rent spent divided by number of months, or y.
- 00:48
Since we know x is the total amount of money on housing John spent, and z is the security deposit…
- 00:55
…we can find total rent spent but just taking x minus z.
- 01:00
So rent spent per month is total rent spent, or x minus z over y, number of months.
- 01:07
So the answer is B. That's it. Bye.
