[sash1]

are you sh!tting me?

here's one for ya: a/b = c/d > ad = bc

 

[randay]

The answer is 42.

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

Ahhh...

I haven't had a math class in 19 years. I can't believe I still remember how to do this stuff. Cool.

 

[ballmode]

so the answer is 42? can somebody explain step by step how to do this?

 

[JohnCU]

you are an idiot.

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

The answer is not 42.

Idiot is relative... I've seen people (including myself) ask simple calculus or number theory problems on this board.

360=18/200x

360/(18/200)=x

4000=x

Not 42.

This is why I didn't ask my teacher for help, I would get responces like this...


Fine Ill just fail finance since nobody can help me with this

Let's make some substitutions to make it clearer:

a=360
b=x
c=200
d=18
e=b/c
f=e
g=a/e
h=a/f

That gives us:
h=df/e
a/f=df/e
a/e=de/e
a/(b/c)=d
a(c/b)=d
ac/b=d
ac=db
ac/d=b
ac/dc=b/c

this isn't simple calculus, this is basic, basic, BASIC algebra.

maybe i'm being harsh, but the mathematical capacity of some people in this country is just... shocking.

You deserve to fail. The reason why you can't understand the problem and solve it is probably because someone told you the answer to what 2+2 is.

When youve been out of school for a bit, and you try to actually better yourself by going back to school and people insult your intelligence shows that half you people are in your underwear chuckling away typing here.


That or you hate me because I post I hate cats all the time here.

i apologize, i don't want to be an elitist college prick.

 

[frank84]

why wouldnt you ask your teacher for help?

how old are you?
what kind of math are you taking?
have you done your homework?
have you been paying attention at class?

 

[z0mb13]

a/b = c
b = a/c
I suggest you reopen your algebra books

 

[Imported]

4000.

 

[her209]

I update my post.

 

[ballmode]

I will copy and paste that for future reference thank you Her

 

[randay]
