Question 349873: I am stuck on algebra word problems that are not of adding. For example:
In 2006, approximately 125 billion email messages were sent each day. The number of spam messages was about four times the number of non-spam messages. How many of each type of message was sent each in 2006? Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1)What will we make x???
x=number of non spam messages
4x=spam messages
.
you could have made x=spam messages then non spam messages would be x/4
.
2)Write an equation
4x+x=125 bil.
5x=125
x=25 bil.
4x=100 bil.
.
This isn't rocket science. You can do this!
