Why not when you have s+(sx)=60 divide by x to get s+s=60/x thus giving 2s=60/x
and then s = 60/2x and thus 30 /x

17. a researcher measures three variables, x, y, and z for each individual in a sample of n = 20. the pearson correlations for this sample are rxy = 0.6, rxz = 0.4, and ryz = 0.7. a. find the partial correlation between x and y, holding z constant. b. find the partial correlation between x and z, holding y constant. (hint: simply switch the labels for the variables y and z to correspond with the labels in the equation.) gravetter, frederick j. statistics for the behavioral sciences (p. 526). cengage learning. kindle edition.

Gabriel determined that his total cost would be represented by 2.5x + 2y – 2. his sister states that the expression should be x + x + 0.5x + y + y – 2. who is correct? explain.
