-65 times the difference between a number and 79 is equal to the number plus 98-65 times the difference between a number and 79 is equal to the number plus 98
The phrase [I]a number[/I] means an arbitrary variable. Let's call it x.
The first expression, [I]the difference between a number and 79[/I] means we subtract 79 from our arbitrary variable of x:
x - 79
Next, -65 times the difference between a number and 79 means we multiply our result above by -65:
-65(x - 79)
The phrase [I]the number[/I] refers to the arbitrary variable x earlier. The number plus 98 means we add 98 to x:
x + 98
Now, let's bring it all together. The phrase [I]is equal to[/I] means an equation. So we set -65(x - 79) equal to x + [B]98:
-65(x - 79) = x + 98[/B] <-- This is our algebraic expression

1/2^1 = 1/2
1/2^2 = 1/4
1/2^3 = 1/8
1/2^4 = 1/32

We see that 1^2 = 1, 2^2 = 4, 3^2 = 9, 4^2 = 16, 5^2 = 25
We build a formula for the nth term:
f(n) = n^2
The next number means n = 6th term:
f(6) = 6^2 = [B]36

2 numbers that are equal have a sum of 602 numbers that are equal have a sum of 60
Let's choose 2 arbitrary variables for the 2 numbers
x, y
Were given 2 equations:
[LIST=1]
[*]x = y <-- Because we have the phrase [I]that are equal[/I]
[*]x + y = 60
[/LIST]
Because x = y in equation (1), we can substitute equation (1) into equation (2) for x:
y + y = 60
Add like terms to get:
2y = 60
Divide each side by 2:
2y/2 = 60/2
Cancel the 2's and we get:
y = [B]30

Since x = y, x = y = 30
x = [B]30[/B]
2 times a number added to another number is 25. 3 times the first number minus the other number is 22 times a number added to another number is 25. 3 times the first number minus the other number is 20.

If we choose a ball, then another ball without putting the first one back in the bag, what is the probability that the first ball will be green and the second will be red?
[U]Calculate total number of balls to start:[/U]
Total Balls = Red Balls + Green Balls + Blue Balls
Total Balls = 666 + 444 + 333
Total Balls = 1,443
[U]Calculate the probability of drawing a green ball on the first pick:[/U]
P(Green) = Green Balls / Total Balls
P(Green) = 444/1443
P(Green) = 0.30769
[U]Calculate the probability of drawing a red ball on the second pick (without replacement):[/U]
Total Balls decrease by 1, since we do not replace. So Total Balls = 1,443 - 1 = 1,442
P(Red) = Red Balls / Total Balls
P(Red) = 666/1442
P(Red) = 0.46186
Now, we want the probability of Green, Red in that order.
Since each event is independent, we multiply the event probabilities
P(Green, Red) = P(Green) * P(Red)
P(Green, Red) = 0.30769 * 0.46186
P(Green, Red) = [B]0.14211[/B]

A bag of fertilizer covers 300 square feet of lawn. Find how many bags of fertilizer should be purchA bag of fertilizer covers 300 square feet of lawn. Find how many bags of fertilizer should be purchased to cover a rectangular lawn 290 feet by 150 feet.
The area of a rectangle is length * width, so we have:
A = 290 * 150
A = 43,500 sq ft.
Now, to find the number of bags needed for a 300 square feet per bag of fertilizer, we have:
Bags Needed = Total Square Feet of Lawn / Square Feet covered per bag
Bags Needed = 43,500 / 300
Bags Needed = [B]145[/B]
A bag of marbles is said to contain 50 marbles to the nearest ten. What is the greatest number of maA bag of marbles is said to contain 50 marbles to the nearest ten. What is the greatest number of marbles that could be in the bag and what is the least number of marbles that could be in the bag
The key word in this problem is [I][B]nearest ten[/B][/I].
The nearest ten below 50 starts at 45. Why? Because the last digit is 5. At 5, we round up to the nearest ten.
Therefore, the least number of marbles in the bag is 45 since it rounds up to 50 for the nearest ten
The greatest number above 50 rounded to the nearest ten is 54, because less than 5 on the last digit means we round down.
Therefore, the greatest number of marbles in the bag is 54 since it rounds down to 50 when the last digit is less than 5
Answer:
{[B]45, 54}

Find the number of muffins sold after 2010 through 2015:
7,420 - 5,800 = 1,620
Now, since the problem states a linear sales model, we need to determine the sales per year:
1,620 muffins sold since 2010 / 5 years = 324 muffins per year.
Build our linear model:
[B]y = 5,800 + 324x
[/B]
Reading this out loud, we start with 5,800 muffins at the end of 2010, and we add 324 more muffins for each year after 2010.

A car is purchased for $24,000 . Each year it loses 30% of its value. After how many years will tA car is purchased for $24,000 . Each year it loses 30% of its value. After how many years will the car be worth $7300 or less? (Use the calculator provided if necessary.) Write the smallest possible whole number answer.
Set up the depreciation equation D(t) where t is the number of years in the life of the car:
D(t) = 24,000 * (1 - 0.3)^t
D(t) = 24000 * (0.7)^t
The problem asks for D(t)<=7300
24000 * (0.7)^t = 7300
Divide each side by 24000
(0.7)^t = 7300/24000
(0.7)^t= 0.30416666666
Take the natural log of both sides:
LN(0.7^t) = -1.190179482215518
Using the natural log identities, we have:
t * LN(0.7) = -1.190179482215518
t * -0.35667494393873245= -1.190179482215518

He uses the remaining 7 acres to grow wheat.How many total acres does the farmer own?
Convert all land portions to fractions or decimals. We will do fractions:
[LIST]
[*]1/3 for corn
[*][I]A quarter[/I] means 1/4 for lettuce
[*]12.5% is 12.5/100 or 1/8 for green beans
[/LIST]
Now add all these up:
1/3 + 1/4 + 1/8
We need a common factor for 3, 4, and 8. Using our [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/gcflcm.php?num1=3&num2=4&num3=8&pl=LCM']LCM Calculator[/URL], we get 24.
1/3 = 8/24
1/4 = 6/24
18 = 3/24
Add them all up:
(8 + 6 + 3)/24
17/24
This means 17/24 of the land is used for everything but wheat. Wheat occupies (24-17)/24 = 7/24 of the land.
We'll use a for the number of acres on the farm.

A food truck sells salads for $6.50 each and drinks for $2.00 each. The food trucks revenue from selA food truck sells salads for $6.50 each and drinks for $2.00 each. The food trucks revenue from selling a total of 209 salads and drinks in one day was $836.50. How many salads were sold that day?
Let the number of drinks be d. Let the number of salads be s. We're given two equations:

We can use substitution to solve this system of equations quickly. The question asks for the number of salads (s). Therefore, we want all expressions in terms of s. Rearrange Equation 2 by subtracting s from both sides:
d + s - s = 209 - s
Cancel the s's, we get:

A house valued at 70,000 in 1989 increased in value to 125,000 in 2000. Find a function which givesA house valued at 70,000 in 1989 increased in value to 125,000 in 2000. Find a function which gives the value of the house, v, as a function of y, the number of years after 1989.
Let's determine the years:
2000 - 1989 = 11
Let's determine the change in value:
125,000 - 70,000 = 55,000
Assuming a linear progression, we have:
55,000/11 = 5,000 per year increase
[B]y = 70,000 + 5,000v[/B] where v is the number of years after 1989
Plug in 11 to check our work
y = 70,000 + 5,000(11)
y = 70,000 + 55,000
y = 125,000

The theater charges $5.00 for children, $7.00 for students, and $12.00 of adults. There are half as many adults as there are children. If the total ticket sales was $ 1030, How many children, students, and adults attended?
Let c be the number of children's tickets, s be the number of student's tickets, and a be the number of adult's tickets. We have 3 equations:
[LIST=1]
[*]a + c + s = 143
[*]a = 0.5c
[*]12a + 5c + 7s =1030
[/LIST]
Substitute (2) into (1)
0.5c + c + s = 143
1.5c + s = 143
Subtract 1.5c from each side
4. s = 143 - 1.5c
Now, take (4) and (2), and plug it into (3)
12(0.5c) + 5c + 7(143 - 1.5c) = 1030
6c + 5c + 1001 - 10.5c = 1030
Combine like terms:
0.5c + 1001 = 1030
Use our [URL='http://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=0.5c%2B1001%3D1030&pl=Solve']equation calculator[/URL] to get [B]c = 58[/B].
Plug this back into (2)
a = 0.5(58)
[B]a = 29
[/B]
Now take the a and c values, and plug it into (1)
29 + 58 + s = 143
s + 87 = 143
Using our [URL='http://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=s%2B87%3D143&pl=Solve']equation calculator[/URL] again, we get [B]s = 56[/B].
To summarize, we have:

A new car worth $24,000 is depreciating in value by $3,000 per year , how many years till the cars vA new car worth $24,000 is depreciating in value by $3,000 per year , how many years till the cars value will be $9,000
We have a flat rate depreciation each year. Set up the function D(t) where t is the number of years of depreciation:
D(t) = 24000 - 3000t
The problem asks for the time (t) when D(t) = 9000. So we set D(t) = 9000
24000 - 3000 t = 9000
To solve for t, [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=24000-3000t%3D9000&pl=Solve']we plug this function into our search engine[/URL] and we get:

Step 1, the question asks for Book Value. Let y be the number of years since purchase.
We setup an equation B(y) which is the Book Value at time y.
B(y) = Sale Price - Depreciation Amount * y
We're given Sale price = $30,000, depreciation amount = 3,000, and B(y) = 9000
30000 - 3000y = 9000
To solve for y, we [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=30000-3000y%3D9000&pl=Solve']type this in our math engine[/URL] and we get:
y = [B]7

To check our work, substitute y = 7 into B(y)
B(7) = 30000 - 3000(7)
B(7) = 30000 - 21000
B(7) = 9000

A number cube is rolled and a coin is tossed. The number cube and the coin are fair. What is the proA number cube is rolled and a coin is tossed. The number cube and the coin are fair. What is the probability that the number rolled is greater than 3 and the coin toss is heads? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form
Let's review the vitals of this question:
[LIST]
[*]The probability of heads on a fair coin is 1/2.
[*]On a fair die, greater than 3 means either 4, 5, or 6. Any die roll face is a 1/6 probability.
[*]So we have a combination of outcomes below:
[/LIST]
Outcomes
[LIST=1]
[*]Heads and 4
[*]Heads and 5
[*]Heads and 6
[/LIST]
For each of the outcomes, we assign a probability. Since the coin flip and die roll are independent, we multiply the probabilities:
[LIST=1]
[*]P(Heads and 4) = 1/2 * 1/6 = 1/12
[*]P(Heads and 5) = 1/2 * 1/6 = 1/12
[*]P(Heads and 6) = 1/2 * 1/6 = 1/12
[/LIST]
Since we want any of those events, we add all three probabilities
1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 = 3/12
This fraction is not simplified. S[URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/fraction.php?frac1=3%2F12&frac2=3%2F8&pl=Simplify']o we type this fraction into our search engine, and choose Simplify[/URL].

A number multiplied by 6 and divided by 5 give four more than a number?A number multiplied by 6 and divided by 5 give four more than a number?
A number is represented by an arbitrary variable, let's call it x.
Multiply by 6:
6x
Divide by 5
6x/5
The word "gives" means equals, so we set this equal to 4 more than a number, which is x + 4.
6x/5 = x + 4
Now, multiply each side of the equation by 5, to eliminate the fraction on the left hand side:
6x(5)/5 = 5(x + 4)
The 5's cancel on the left side, giving us:
6x = 5x + 20
Subtract 5x from each side
[B]x = 20[/B]
Check our work from our original equation:
6x/5 = x + 4
6(20)/5 ? 20 + 4
120/5 ?24
24 = 24 <-- Yes, we verified our answer

Step 2: no less than 2 means 2 or greater. Or, greater than or equal to 2
>=2
Writing this in terms of the number n, we have:
[B]2 <= n <= 49[/B]

A package that is heavier than 11 lbs and 8 oz will have a label that says HEAVY on it. Gloria packeA package that is heavier than 11 lbs and 8 oz will have a label that says HEAVY on it. Gloria packed 6 flowerpots to send to her customers. Each of the flowerpots weighs 1 lb and 12 oz. The packing material weighs 5 oz. Will her package be labeled as HEAVY?
Calculate weight of flowerpots:
Flowerpot weight = Weight per flowerpot * number of flowerpots
Flowerpot weight = 1 lb 12 oz * 6
Flowerpot weight = 6 lb and 72 oz
Since 72oz = 72/16 = 4 lbs and 8 oz, we have:
Flowerpot weight = 6 lb 8 oz + 4 lbs and 8 oz = 12 lb 16 oz
Since 16oz = 1 lb, we have:
13lb
Add in the 5 oz of packing material, we have:
13lb 5 oz
Since this is greater than 11lb 8oz, the package [B]will be labeled as HEAVY[/B]

A parking meter contains 27.05 in quarters and dimes. All together there are 146 coins. How many ofA parking meter contains 27.05 in quarters and dimes. All together there are 146 coins. How many of each coin are there?
Let d = the number of dimes and q = the number of quarters. We have two equations:
(1) d + q = 146
(2) 0.1d + 0.25q = 27.05
Rearrange (1) into (3) solving for d
(3) d = 146 - q
Substitute (3) into (2)
0.1(146 - q) + 0.25q = 27.05
14.6 - 0.1q + 0.25q = 27.05
Combine q's
0.15q + 14.6 = 27.05
Subtract 14.6 from each side
0.15q = 12.45
Divide each side by 0.15
[B]q = 83[/B]
Plugging that into (3), we have:

Calculate the number of semi-monthly periods per year:
Semi-monthly periods per year = 12 Months per year * 2
Semi-monthly periods per year = 24
Calculate semi-monthly salary amount:
Semi-monthly salary amount = Annual Salary / Semi-monthly periods per year
Semi-monthly salary amount = $36,000 / 24
Semi-monthly salary amount = $1,500

A set of 19 scores has a mean of 6.3. A new score of 8 is then included in the data set. What is thA set of 19 scores has a mean of 6.3. A new score of 8 is then included in the data set. What is the new mean?
We know the mean formula is:
Sum of scores / Number of Scores = Mean
We're given mean = 6.3 and number of scores = 19, so we have:
Sum of scores / 19 = 6.3
Cross multiply:
Sum of scores = 19 * 6.3
Sum of scores = 119.7
Now a new score is added of 8, so we have:
Sum of scores = 119.7 + 8 = 127.7
Number of scores = 19 + 1 = 20
So our new mean is:
Mean = Sum of scores / Number of Scores
Mean = 127.7/20

We set up our exponential function where n is the number of days after today:
Z(n) = 25 * 2^n
We want to know n where Z(n) = 25,000.
25 * 2^n = 25,000
Divide each side of the equation by 25, to isolate 2^n:

Take the natural log of each side to isolate n:
Ln(2^n) = Ln(1000)
There exists a logarithmic identity which states: Ln(a^n) = n * Ln(a). In this case, a = 2, so we have:

Let h = history book and s = sociology books. We have 2 equations:
(1) h = s - 42
(2) h + s = 296
Substitute (1) to (2)
s - 42 + s = 296
Combine variables
2s - 42 = 296
Add 42 to each side
2s = 338
Divide each side by 2
s = 169
So h = 169 - 42 = 127

Set up a cost equation C(m) where m is the number of miles:
C(m) = Cost per mile * m + Service Fee
Plugging in the service fee of 50 and cost per mile of 1.75, we get:
C(m) = 1.75m + 50
The question asks for what m is C(m) = 71. So we set C(m) = 71 and solve for m:

120 years / 30 years per doubling = 4 doubling times
Set up our growth function P(n) where n is the number of doubling times:
P(n) = 500 * 2^n
Since we have 4 doubling times, we want P(4):
P(4) = 500 * 2^4
P(4) = 500 * 16
P(4) = [B]8,000[/B]

Anne wants to make a platform that is 7 feet wide and 10 feet long. If she uses boards that measureAnne wants to make a platform that is 7 feet wide and 10 feet long. If she uses boards that measure 6 inches wide by 2 feet long, how many boards will she need to complete the job?
Area of platform which is a rectangle:
A = lw
A = 10 * 7
A = 70
Area of boards which are rectangles:
A = lw
A = 2 * 6
A = 12
We divide our platform area by our board area to get the number of boards needed:
Boards needed = Platform Area / Board Area
Boards needed = 70/12
Boards needed = 5.83333

May has three-quarters of the number of sweets that June has. April has two-thirds of the number of sweets that May has. How many sweets does June have?
Let the April sweets be a.
Let the May sweets be m.
Let the June sweets be j.
We're given the following equations:
[LIST=1]
[*]m = 3j/4
[*]a = 2m/3
[*]a + j + m = 90
[/LIST]
Cross multiply #2;
3a = 2m
Dividing each side by 2, we get;
m = 3a/2
Since m = 3j/4 from equation #1, we have:
3j/4 = 3a/2
Cross multiply:
6j = 12a
Divide each side by 12:
a = j/2
So we have:
[LIST=1]
[*]m = 3j/4
[*]a = j/2
[*]a + j + m = 90
[/LIST]
Now substitute equation 1 and 2 into equation 3:
j/2 + j + 3j/4 = 90
Multiply each side by 4 to eliminate fractions:
2j + 4j + 3j = 360

Barney has $450 and spends $3 each week. Betty has $120 and saves $8 each week. How many weeks willBarney has $450 and spends $3 each week. Betty has $120 and saves $8 each week. How many weeks will it take for them to have the same amount of money?
Let w be the number of weeks that go by for saving/spending.
Set up Barney's balance equation, B(w). Spending means we [U]subtract[/U]
B(w) = Initial Amount - spend per week * w weeks
B(w) = 450 - 3w
Set up Betty's balance equation, B(w). Saving means we [U]add[/U]
B(w) = Initial Amount + savings per week * w weeks
B(w) = 120 + 8w
The same amount of money means both of their balance equations B(w) are equal. So we set Barney's balance equal to Betty's balance and solve for w:
450 - 3w = 120 + 8w
Add 3w to each side to isolate w:
450 - 3w + 3w = 120 + 8w + 3w
Cancelling the 3w on the left side, we get:
450 = 120 + 11w
Rewrite to have constant on the right side:
11w + 120 = 450
Subtract 120 from each side:
11w + 120 - 120 = 450 - 120
Cancelling the 120's on the left side, we get:
11w = 330
To solve for w, we divide each side by 11
11w/11 = 330/11
Cancelling the 11's on the left side, we get:
w = [B]30

Clark wants to give some baseball cards to his friends. If he gives 6 cards to each of his friends,Clark wants to give some baseball cards to his friends. If he gives 6 cards to each of his friends, he will have 5 cards left. If he gives 8 cards to each of his friends, he will need 7 more cards. How many friends is the giving the cards to?
Let the number of friends Clark gives his cards to be f. Let the total amount of cards he gives out be n. We're given 2 equations:
[LIST=1]
[*]6f + 5 = n
[*]8f - 7 = n
[/LIST]
Since both equations equal n, we set these equations equal to each other
6f + 5 = 8f - 7
To solve for f, we [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=6f%2B5%3D8f-7&pl=Solve']type this equation into our search engine[/URL] and we get:
f = [B]6
[/B]
To check our work, we plug in f = 6 into each equation:
[LIST=1]
[*]6(6) + 5 = 36 + 5 = 41
[*]8(6) - 7 = 48 - 7 = 41
[/LIST]
So this checks out. Clark has 41 total cards which he gives to 6 friends.

Colin was thinking of a number. Colin divides by 8, then adds 1 to get an answer of 2. What was theColin was thinking of a number. Colin divides by 8, then adds 1 to get an answer of 2. What was the original number?
Let the number be n.
Divide by 8:
n/8
Then add 1:
n/8 + 1
The phrase [I]get an answer[/I] of means an equation, so we set n/8 + 1 equal to 2:
n/8 + 1 = 2
To solve for n, we subtract 1 from each side to isolate the n term:
n/8 + 1 - 1 = 2 - 1
Cancel the 1's on the left side, we get:
n/8 = 1
Cross multiply:
n = 8*1
n = [B]8[/B]

- The mean of the last 10 numbers is TWICE the mean of the first 10 numbers
- The sum of the last 2 numbers is FIVE times the sum of the first 3 numbers
(i) Calculate the values of x and y
We're given two equations:
[LIST=1]
[*](x + 6 + 7 + 8 + y + 9 + 10 + 12 + 3x + 20)/10 = 2(1 + 2 + y - 4 + 4 + 5 + x + 6 + 7 + 8 + y)/10
[*]3x - 20 = 5(1 + 2 + y - 4)
[/LIST]
Let's evaluate and simplify:
[LIST=1]
[*](x + 6 + 7 + 8 + y + 9 + 10 + 12 + 3x + 20)/10 = (1 + 2 + y - 4 + 4 + 5 + x + 6 + 7 + 8 + y)/5

5(y - 1) = 5y - 5
So we're left with:
[LIST=1]
[*](4x + y + 72)/10 = (2y + x + 29)/5
[*]3x - 20 = 5y - 5
[/LIST]
Cross multiply equations in 1, we have:
5(4x + y + 72) = 10(2y + x + 29)
20x + 5y + 360 = 20y + 10x + 290
We have:
[LIST=1]
[*]20x + 5y + 360 = 20y + 10x + 290
[*]3x - 20 = 5y - 5
[/LIST]
Combining like terms:
[LIST=1]
[*]10x - 15y = -70
[*]3x - 5y = 15
[/LIST]
Now we have a system of equations which we can solve any of three ways:

If the fries contain 15 grams of fat and the shake contains 9 grams of fat, how many burgers, at 17 grams of fat each, can Dan add to his fries and milkshake if he wants to keep the total fat content of his meal no greater than 69 grams?
His original meal is 1 fry and 1 shake. This contains 15 + 9 = 24 grams of fat.
To limit his meal to 69 grams of fat, he has 69 - 24 = 45 grams of fat left over.
Therefore, he can consume:
17b <= 45 where b is the number of burgers
Dividing by 17, we get b = 2.65. Since he does not want to go over 45, he can eat 2 burgers.

650 - 40m = 850 - 65m
Solve for [I]m[/I] in the equation 650 - 40m = 850 - 65m
[SIZE=5][B]Step 1: Group variables:[/B][/SIZE]
We need to group our variables -40m and -65m. To do that, we add 65m to both sides
-40m + 650 + 65m = -65m + 850 + 65m
[SIZE=5][B]Step 2: Cancel -65m on the right side:[/B][/SIZE]
25m + 650 = 850
[SIZE=5][B]Step 3: Group constants:[/B][/SIZE]
We need to group our constants 650 and 850. To do that, we subtract 650 from both sides
25m + 650 - 650 = 850 - 650

Declare variables for each of the two numbers:
[LIST]
[*]Let the first variable be x
[*]Let the second variable be y
[/LIST]
We're given 2 equations:
[LIST=1]
[*]x - y = 3
[*]x^2 + y^2 = 117
[/LIST]
Rewrite equation (1) in terms of x by adding y to each side:
[LIST=1]
[*]x = y + 3
[*]x^2 + y^2 = 117
[/LIST]
Substitute equation (1) into equation (2) for x:
(y + 3)^2 + y^2 = 117
Evaluate and simplify:
y^2 + 3y + 3y + 9 + y^2 = 117
Combine like terms:
2y^2 + 6y + 9 = 117
Subtract 117 from each side:
2y^2 + 6y + 9 - 117 = 117 - 117
2y^2 + 6y - 108 = 0
This is a quadratic equation:
Solve the quadratic equation 2y2+6y-108 = 0
With the standard form of ax2 + bx + c, we have our a, b, and c values:
a = 2, b = 6, c = -108
Solve the quadratic equation 2y^2 + 6y - 108 = 0
The quadratic formula is denoted below:
y = -b ± sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)/2a
[U]Step 1 - calculate negative b:[/U]
-b = -(6)
-b = -6
[U]Step 2 - calculate the discriminant Δ:[/U]
Δ = b2 - 4ac:
Δ = 62 - 4 x 2 x -108
Δ = 36 - -864
Δ = 900 <--- Discriminant
Since Δ is greater than zero, we can expect two real and unequal roots.
[U]Step 3 - take the square root of the discriminant Δ:[/U]
√Δ = √(900)
√Δ = 30
[U]Step 4 - find numerator 1 which is -b + the square root of the Discriminant:[/U]
Numerator 1 = -b + √Δ
Numerator 1 = -6 + 30
Numerator 1 = 24
[U]Step 5 - find numerator 2 which is -b - the square root of the Discriminant:[/U]
Numerator 2 = -b - √Δ
Numerator 2 = -6 - 30
Numerator 2 = -36
[U]Step 6 - calculate your denominator which is 2a:[/U]
Denominator = 2 * a
Denominator = 2 * 2
Denominator = 4
[U]Step 7 - you have everything you need to solve. Find solutions:[/U]
Solution 1 = Numerator 1/Denominator

Ethan has $9079 in his retirement account, and Kurt has $9259 in his. Ethan is adding $19per day, whEthan has $9079 in his retirement account, and Kurt has $9259 in his. Ethan is adding $19per day, whereas Kurt is contributing $1 per day. Eventually, the two accounts will contain the same amount. What balance will each account have? How long will that take?
Set up account equations A(d) where d is the number of days since time 0 for each account.
Ethan A(d): 9079 + 19d
Kurt A(d): 9259 + d
The problems asks for when they are equal, and how much money they have in them. So set each account equation equal to each other:
9079 + 19d = 9259 + d
[URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=9079%2B19d%3D9259%2Bd&pl=Solve']Typing this equation into our search engine[/URL], we get [B]d = 10[/B].
So in 10 days, both accounts will have equal amounts in them.
Now, pick one of the account equations, either Ethan or Kurt, and plug in d = 10. Let's choose Kurt's since we have a simpler equation:
A(10) = 9259 + 10
A(10) = $[B]9,269

Farmer Yumi has too many plants in her garden. If she starts out with 150 plants and is losing themFarmer Yumi has too many plants in her garden. If she starts out with 150 plants and is losing them at a rate of 4% each day, how long will it take for her to have 20 plants left? Round UP to the nearest day.
We set up the function P(d) where d is the number of days sine she started losing plants:
P(d) = Initial plants * (1 - Loss percent / 100)^d

Add 0.2 to each side:
4/5 * (3/4 * (2/3 * (0.5x - 0.5) -1/3) - 0.75) = 19.2
Multiply each side by 5/4
(3/4 * (2/3 * (0.5x - 0.5) - 1/3) - 0.75) = 24

Now subtract 0.75 which is 3/4
2/6x - 4/6 - 3/4

An employee in the Amazon distribution center earns about $13 an hour. The estimated lifespan of the employee is 71 years. If the employee worked 24 hours a day, every day of the year from the moment of his birth, how many lifespans would it take for him to earn wages equivalent to Jeff Bezos' net worth? Round the answer to the nearest whole number.
Calculate earnings per lifespan:
Earnings per lifespan = lifespan in years * Annual Earnings
Earnings per lifespan = 71 * 13 * 24 * 365 <-- (24 hours per day * 365 days per year)
Earnings per lifespan = 8,085,480
Calculate the number of lifespans needed to match Jeff Bezos earnings:
Number of lifespans = Jeff Bezos Net Worth / Earnings Per Lifespan
Number of lifespans = 143,100,000,000 / 8,085,480
Number of lifespans = [B]17,698.39 ~ 17,699[/B]

Leslie has 8 pencils. She has 9 fewer pencils than Michelle. How many pencils does Michelle have?Let m = the number of pencils Michelle has.
So, Leslie has m - 9 = 8.
Add 9 to both sides:
m = 17. So Michelle has 17 pencils, and Leslie has 8, which is 9 fewer than 17
Let n be an integer. If n^2 is odd, then n is oddLet n be an integer. If n^2 is odd, then n is odd
Proof by contraposition:
Suppose that n is even. Then we can write n = 2k
n^2 = (2k)^2 = 4k^2 = 2(2k) so it is even
[I]So an odd number can't be the square of an even number. So if an odd number is a square it must be the square of an odd number.[/I]
Let n be the middle number of three consecutive integersLet n be the middle number of three consecutive integers
This means:
[LIST]
[*]n is the second of three consecutive integers
[*]The first consecutive integer is n - 1
[*]The third consecutive integer is n + 1
[/LIST]
The sum is found by:
n - 1 + n + n + 1
Simplifying, we get:
(n + n + n) + 1 - 1
[B]3n[/B]
Let P(n) and S(n) denote the product and the sum, respectively, of the digits of the integer n. ForLet P(n) and S(n) denote the product and the sum, respectively, of the digits of the integer n. For example, P(23) = 6 and S(23) = 5. Suppose N is a two-digit number such that N = P(N) + S(N). What could N be? Is there more than one answer?
For example, for 23 P(23) = 6 and S(23) = 5, but 23 could not be the N that we want since 23 <> 5 + 6
Let t = tens digit and o = ones digit
P(n) = to
S(n) = t + o
P(n) + S(n) = to + t + o
N = 10t + o
Set them equal to each other N = P(N) + S(N)
10t + o = to + t + o
o's cancel, so we have
10t = to + t
Subtract t from each side, we have
9t = to
Divide each side by t
o = 9
So any two-digit number with 9 as the ones digit will work:
[B]{19,29,39,49,59,69,79,89,99}[/B]
Let x be an integer. If x is odd, then x^2 is oddLet x be an integer. If x is odd, then x^2 is odd
Proof: Let x be an odd number. This means that x = 2n + 1 where n is an integer.
[U]Squaring x, we get:[/U]
x^2 = (2n + 1)^2 = (2n + 1)(2n + 1)
x^2 = 4n^2 + 4n + 1
x^2 = 2(2n^2 + 2n) + 1
2(2n^2 + 2n) is an even number since 2 multiplied by any integer is even
So adding 1 is an odd number

Oscar makes a large purchase at Home Depot and plans to rent one of its trucks to take his suppliesOscar makes a large purchase at Home Depot and plans to rent one of its trucks to take his supplies home. The most he wants to spend on the truck is $56.00. If Home Depot charges $17.00 for the first 75 minutes and $5.00 for each additional 15 min, for how long can Oscar keep the truck and remain within his budget?
Set up the cost equation C(m) where m is the number of minutes for rental:
C(m) = 17 * min(m, 75) + max(0, 5(m - 75))
If Oscar uses the first 75 minutes, he spends $17. So he's left with:

Penny bought a new car for $25,000. The value of the car has decreased in value at rate of 3% eachPenny bought a new car for $25,000. The value of the car has decreased in value at rate of 3% each year since. Let x = the number of years since 2010 and y = the value of the car. What will the value of the car be in 2020? Write the equation, using the variables above, that represents this situation and solve the problem, showing the calculation you did to get your solution. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
We have the equation y(x):
y(x) = 25,000(0.97)^x <-- Since a 3 % decrease is the same as multiplying the starting value by 0.97
The problem asks for y(2020). So x = 2020 - 2010 = 10.
y(10) = 25,000(0.97)^10
y(10) = 25,000(0.73742412689)
y(10) = [B]18,435.60[/B]

Prove sqrt(2) is irrationalUse proof by contradiction. Assume sqrt(2) is rational.
This means that sqrt(2) = p/q for some integers p and q, with q <>0.
We assume p and q are in lowest terms.
Square both side and we get:
2 = p^2/q^2
p^2 = 2q^2
This means p^2 must be an even number which means p is also even since the square of an odd number is odd.
So we have p = 2k for some integer k. From this, it follows that:
2q^2 = p^2 = (2k)^2 = 4k^2
2q^2 = 4k^2
q^2 = 2k^2
q^2 is also even, therefore q must be even.
So both p and q are even.
This contradicts are assumption that p and q were in lowest terms.
So sqrt(2) [B]cannot be rational.

Prove the sum of any two rational numbers is rationalTake two integers, r and s.
We can write r as a/b for integers a and b since a rational number can be written as a quotient of integers
We can write s as c/d for integers c and d since a rational number can be written as a quotient of integers
Add r and s:
r + s = a/b + c/d
With a common denominator bd, we have:
r + s = (ad + bc)/bd
Because a, b, c, and d are integers, ad + bc is an integer since rational numbers are closed under addition and multiplication.
Since b and d are non-zero integers, bd is a non-zero integer.
Since we have the quotient of 2 integers, r + s is a rational number.

Prove there is no integer that is both even and oddLet us take an integer x which is both even [I]and[/I] odd.
[LIST]
[*]As an even integer, we write x in the form 2m for some integer m
[*]As an odd integer, we write x in the form 2n + 1 for some integer n
[/LIST]
Since both the even and odd integers are the same number, we set them equal to each other
2m = 2n + 1
Subtract 2n from each side:
2m - 2n = 1
Factor out a 2 on the left side:
2(m - n) = 1
By definition of divisibility, this means that 2 divides 1.
But we know that the only two numbers which divide 1 are 1 and -1.
Therefore, our original assumption that x was both even and odd must be false.

We want to build an function I(x) where x is the number of days since the ice shelf discovery.
We start with 450 meters, and each day (x), the ice shelf loses 0.06m, which means we subtract this from 450.
[B]I(x) = 450 - 0.06x[/B]

Savannah is a salesperson who sells computers at an electronics store. She makes a base pay of $90 eSavannah is a salesperson who sells computers at an electronics store. She makes a base pay of $90 each day and is also paid a commission for each sale she makes. One day, Savannah sold 4 computers and was paid a total of $100. Write an equation for the function P(x), representing Savannah's total pay on a day on which she sells x computers.
If base pay is $90 per day, then the total commission Savannah made for selling 4 computers is:
Commission = Total Pay - Base Pay
Commission = 100 - 90
Commission = $10
Assuming the commission for each computer is equal, we need to find the commission per computer:
Commission per computer = Total Commission / Number of Computers Sold
Commission per computer = 10/4
Commission per computer = $2.50
Now, we build the Total pay function P(x):
Total Pay = Base Pay + Commission * Number of Computers sold
[B]P(x) = 90 + 2.5x[/B]

Six friends went out to dinner. Each person ordered the same dinner, which costs $15.85. The friendsSix friends went out to dinner. Each person ordered the same dinner, which costs $15.85. The friends left a combined tip of $14. What was the total of the bill and tip?
When all six friends eat the same meal, we calculate the total meal bill before the tip:
Total meal bill = Cost per Meal * Number of Friends
Total meal bill = 15.85 * 6
Total meal bill = $95.10
Calculate the Total bill and Tip:
Total Bill and Tip = Total Meal Bill + Tip
Total Bill and Tip = $95.10 + $14
Total Bill and Tip = [B]$109.10[/B]

Take two consecutive integers, one even, and one odd:
2n and 2n + 1
Now add them
2n + (2n+ 1) = 4n + 1 = 2(2 n) + 1
The sum is of the form 2n + 1 (2n is an integer because the product of two integers is an integer)
Therefore, the sum of two consecutive integers is an odd number.

Suppose that the weight (in pounds) of an airplane is a linear function of the amount of fuel (in gaSuppose that the weight (in pounds) of an airplane is a linear function of the amount of fuel (in gallons) in its tank. When carrying 20 gallons of fuel, the airplane weighs 2012 pounds. When carrying 55 gallons of fuel, it weighs 2208 pounds. How much does the airplane weigh if it is carrying 65 gallons of fuel?
Linear functions are written in the form of one dependent variable and one independent variable. Using g as the number of gallons and W(g) as the weight, we have:
W(g) = gx + c where c is a constant
We are given:
[LIST]
[*]W(20) = 2012
[*]W(55) = 2208
[/LIST]
We want to know W(65)
Using our givens, we have:
W(20) = 20x + c = 2012
W(55) = 55x + c = 2208
Rearranging both equations, we have:
c = 2012 - 20x
c = 2208 - 55x
Set them both equal to each other:
2012 - 20x = 2208 - 55x
Add 55x to each side:
35x + 2012 = 2208
Using our [URL='http://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=35x%2B2012%3D2208&pl=Solve']equation solver[/URL], we see that x is 5.6
Plugging x = 5.6 back into the first equation, we get:
c = 2012 - 20(5.6)
c = 2012 - 112
c = 2900
Now that we have all our pieces, find W(65)
W(65) = 65(5.6) + 2900
W(65) = 264 + 2900
W(65) = [B]3264[/B]
