tonight's algebra adventure....

[Mandelon]

3/4(y-10) - 8y = -5y
I must've missed that day back in 7th grade..... :rolleyes:

[YeLLowBoaT]

and what do they want to know? If you like I can PM you my number and I can help that way...

[Nord]

Angry Inch would know...........

I must've missed that day back in 7th grade..... :rolleyes:
I have a 6th grader and I'm just beginning to feel your pain....:cry: :cry:

[Phat Matt]

Let's try this step by step
3/4(y-10) - 8y = -5y
3/4(y-10) = 3y

[YeLLowBoaT]

if they want to know what Y= here you go in steps
3/4(y-10)-8y=-5y
3/4(y-10)=3y
(4/3)((3/4)(y-10) = (4/3) 3 y
y-10 = 4y
-10=3y
y=-10/3

[Phat Matt]

y = -3 1/3
:)

[Rexone]

y r u putting us dumasses through this :confused:

[Miss Perfect]

I was smart at one time. What happened?!?!?! I don't remember any of this stuff.

[YeLLowBoaT]

yeah I use to be a math tutor ....so where do you want my bill sent? :)

[Rexone]

I was smart at one time. What happened?!?!?! I don't remember any of this stuff.
me too, once. like a foriegn language, use it or lose it.

[Mandelon]

You make it look so easy.... :mad: :cool:
Thanks. I'll probably be back. I haven't done this in years. The past couple weeks I've been able to help, but it keeps getting harder, and I'm too busy to go to class.... :rolleyes: :p The kid's tryin'.......he's better at English. LOL

[SummitKarl]

y= (let the calculator figure it out) :)

[AirtimeLavey]

Lol...just wait for the multiple variables.... :cry:

[YeLLowBoaT]

Lol...just wait for the muliple variables.... :cry:
I can think of alot of worse things then that... :crossx:

[Singleton]

Then we all got out of school and realized that you never use this stuff in life (maybe an ENG or Math teacher), but I am a SEC Compliance Manager and I stopped using that stuff after I completed the college Alg class and will never use it again. Unless the stepsons hit me up for help. I think when that occurs, yellowboat will be getting the PM's. YellowBoat Math Tutor service opening for business when?

Any time you need it...

[cxr133]

LOL.. i actually figured out the answer to this problem in my head....
my kid is 10th grade Honors Math Analysis now.. forgetaboutit whenever he needs a question to a problem i just tell him the answer is 5.25 (LOL) guess who he doesnt ask for help anymore

[Mandelon]

Lol...just wait for the multiple variables.... :cry:
Ding....that's later on the same page.

[Miss Perfect]

LOL.. i actually figured out the answer to this problem in my head....
Show off! :rollside:

[Mandelon]

I think we got these but I would appreciate your checking it...
#3) 4x + 3(2x + 1) = 5 - (3x + 11)
I got -9/13, but can't even multiply the fractions to check it... :cry:
#4) .2x - .32 = .04x + 1.9 + (-.6x) x = 2??
#5) 1/4n -2 + 1/10n = 3/20n - 4 n = -10??
#6 m= y + 5/x Solve for x. is it.... 1/5 (m-y) = x ??
Man--->not the math whiz<-----delon :rolleyes:

[JetBoatRich]

YellowBoat math tutoring :rolleyes:
It has been a lot of years since I took these classes, now they are kicking my butt :yuk: trying to help my daughter

[OutCole'd]

I would help you Mandy, but I'm a complete idiot.

Man--->not the math whiz<-----delon :rolleyes:
3 yes
4 X= 2.22/.76( are you sure you typed that correctlly...... I can't see them giving that in basic algabra.)
5 Is it 1/(4n-2) or is it 1/4n - 2( thru out the rest of the eq)
6 is that M= y+(5/x) or (y+5)/x

[Mandelon]

3 yes Woohoo
4 X= 2.22/.76 OK, That checks out
5 Is it 1/(4n-2) or is it 1/4n - 2( thru out the rest of the eq)
1/4 n - 2 + 1/10n = 3/20n - 4 does that help?
6 is that M= y+(5/x) or (y+5)/x
m = y + (5/x)

[shueman]

This is giving me a headache.... :hammerhea

[YeLLowBoaT]

M= y+(5/x)
(m-y)=5/x
x= 5/(m-y) Yes you can do that. here is why
x(m-y)= (5/x)x
x(m-y)=5
divide both sides by (m-y)
and you get
x=5/(m-y)

[blown dough]

SO what's the problem, piece of cake. I took algebra/trig/calc in intalian

[Mandelon]

Show off. :cool:
1/4n - 2 + 1/10n = 3/20n - 4

[YeLLowBoaT]

(1/4n)-2+ ( 1/10n) = (3/20n)-4 Mulply everything by n
-2n+ (1/4)+ (1/10)= (3/20) -4n
2n=- 4/20= -1/5
n= -2/5

[rrrr]

y r u putting us dumasses through this :confused:
OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW!
Stop making my head hurt!!!!!!
I thought boaters just needed to know there are 24 beers in a case..... :D :D

Cool, here you go...
Solve the differential equation.
3(y - 4x^2)dx + xdy = 0

[YeLLowBoaT]

nah I got a better one
whats the anti dirviative of
sec^4 x
i'll see you in about 6 pages.

[AZKC]

This is giving me a headache.... :hammerhea
You and me both :yuk:

[Elkidminoltu]

I can think of alot of worse things then that... :crossx:
Like derivatives, find center of gravity on 3d planes, intergrals,......matrices, statics, dynamics, Lo'Hospitals Rule.....
Oh yeah, engineering is a blast. Solving for x,y,z.....f,g,h,i,j....all in one problem. :220v: It'll kill your brain!

[Phat Matt]

Obviously a math major. :p

[YeLLowBoaT]

Wrose then that... *wink* Other then 2 classes I got strait As in college... guess which two classes those where...

[Elkidminoltu]

Wrose then that... *wink* Other then 2 classes I got strait As in college... guess which two classes those where...
English and mmmmm history/psych

[Phat Matt]

Wrose then that... *wink* Other then 2 classes I got strait As in college... guess which two classes those where...
Spanish and French? :)

[RitcheyRch]

Ditto.
