 Geometry_Word_Problems/450846: How do you set up the problem: A 24 foot board is cut into 2 pieces. One piece is 24 less than double the other piece. How many feet long is the bigger piece?1 solutions Answer 310045 by solver91311(16897)   on 2011-05-17 19:12:53 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Presuming that "One piece is 24 less than double the other piece" ACTUALLY means "One piece is 24 INCHES less than double the other piece" proceed as follows: Remembering that 24 inches is actually 2 feet, let represent the measure in feet of one of the pieces and then is the measure, in feet, of the other piece. Then: Solve for and then calculate . John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
 Numbers_Word_Problems/450847: Find two consecutive odd integers such that the sum of their squares is 74.1 solutions Answer 310042 by solver91311(16897)   on 2011-05-17 18:50:26 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let represent the first odd integer. Then the second odd integer is .

 Travel_Word_Problems/450282: George a race-walker, is on one end of a 6 mile track. John a average walker is on the other end of the track. The two start walking towards each other and meet in 1/2 hour. If George's average speed exceeds John's by 6 mph, find the speed of both walkers. How do I set up and solve the equation? This is what I came up with: r+6= rate of George 1/2r + 1/2(r+6)=6 John=3 mph 1/2r + 1/2r + 3=6 George=9 mph r + 3=6 r+3-3=6-3 r=3 3+6=91 solutions Answer 309739 by solver91311(16897)   on 2011-05-16 18:45:00 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Nothing whatsoever wrong about the way you did the problem. Actually, this is a two-by-two linear system problem that lends itself neatly to solution by the Substitution method. You simply skipped the step of writing the quantity equation that relates the two speeds, solving that equation for one of the speeds, and then substituting the expression into your second equation. But there is nothing wrong with that approach when the relationships are this simple. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

"Pi" is the generally accepted English language equivalent of the 16th letter of the lower case Greek alphabet, frequently rendered as , representing the fixed but transcendental (because it is not a root of a non-constant polynomial equation with rational coefficients) irrational (because it is not the quotient of two integers) ratio between the circumference of a circle and the diameter of that same circle.

Barney was charged $69 for 3 days and 300 miles, while Mary was charged$123 for 5 days and 600 miles. Find the daily fee and find the mileage charge? I have no idea where to start! Thanks!1 solutions Answer 309610 by solver91311(16897)   on 2011-05-16 11:15:06 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let represent the amount charged per mile. Let represent the daily fee. In the first situation, where the mileage fee represents the cost of traveling 300 miles, that cost can be expressed as . That is, the number of miles traveled times the cost per mile. Furthermore, the cost for the daily fee for the 3 days is represented by , i.e. the number of days times the daily fee. The sum of the two is given as \$69, hence: In a similar fashion, we can derive another equation that describes the second situation: Now all you have to do is solve the system for the ordered pair . Hint: Since the larger coefficient on is an integer multiple of the other, this system lends itself nicely to the Elimination method. Just multiply the first equation by -2 and proceed.

I presume you have a set of ordered pairs to test. Otherwise you are in for a very LONG night since the solution set has infinite elements. Take the first value in an ordered pair you want to check and substitute it for x. Take the second value from that same ordered pair and substitute it for y. If the result is a true statement, then the ordered pair is an element of the solution set. Otherwise not. Note the "strictly less than" relationship -- 24 is NOT less than 3 times 8 for example, so the ordered pair (8,24) would NOT be in the solution set, whereas (8,23.99999999999999999999999999999999999) would be.

The first 5 perfect squares are: 1, 4, 9, 16, and 25. You won't need the 6th one because it is larger than the largest of your choices. Start with your first one, 13. 13 minus 1 is 12. 1 is a perfect square, 12 is not. 13 minus 4 is 9. 4 is a perfect square, 9 is a perfect square, so 13 is the sum of two perfect squares. Eliminate this choice. 17 minus 1 is 16. 1 and 16 are perfect squares. Eliminate choice. Keep going until you find one that is not the sum of two perfect squares.
