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.

360/x * 1/(1/200) = 18
360/x * 200 = 18
(360 * 200) / x = 18
x = (360 * 200) / 18
x = 4000

But I posted one "simple" problem to the majority of people.
I post one comment on how I get ****** responces and you guys slam it in my face like you are all elite and stuff. JESUS last time i ask for help around here
and I'll just join the bandwagon and flame all others who do something I did as well
as for those who did help, thank you.

Let's make some substitutions to make it clearer....Originally posted by: her209
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
You're absolutely correct.Originally posted by: thesurge

setting b=x, f=e, and g=a/e (a variable you don't refer to), and creating funny ratios of variables and real numbers that won't reduce (would be alright if you were to create them to show a general case to someone who cannot follow the reduction) were absolutely necessary!
maybe i missed the sarcasm.
