ok i need help with my homework can any1 solve this and show me how to do it or like write out ur steps



1.Peter has Five times as much money as David. If Peter gives $28 to David,both of them will have equal amounts of money. How much money did petter have at the beginning?


Answer:

Assign Peter's money with x, and Paul's money with y.

x = 5*y - that means Peter has five times more money than Paul.
x - 28 = y + 28 (peter has 28$ less, and paul has 28$ more than at the start. Now, the values are equal)

Substitute x for 5y:

5*y - 28 = y + 28. Consequently, 4*y = 56 and y = 14. Therefore, x = 5*14 = 70.

Better question yet:

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.

A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.

If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,

Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

Anywho, you're not going to learn until you do your OWN homework. I'm sorry if I anger you. Haven't you ever watched Final Fantasy A+?


Edit: You could be a fine tutor mr.Stress.

dude knw i just moved to asia and i have to give a test to get in to 9th grade so i have to study without help kinda hard .....

Btw thx sooooooo much stresss very very helpful

I'm 9th grade, and I know a great deal about functions (monotony, convex/concave functions, continuity) and a little bit of calculus (particularly derivatives) as well. The teaching system must be different in my country, probably.

Anyway, I just love math

Ouch.

Well, here is a site, with some help from some of the books from my home state. Just pick what you're currently learning, a specific chapter, and wham. I hope it helps.

lol I'm 16 going to grade 10 next year cuz I too live in Asia and I had to take the 7th Grade. Im not sure with you guys tho.

uhhh i live in pakistan

eheh my cousin is 17 and in grade 10 weird huh?

lol, I im in A-1, and ppl think I'm stupid, but considering my level of math, going beyond college material due to online help sessions for my programming and 3d modeling, Math is next to my life nowadays writing Algorithmic Programs to help my classmates with the algebra and such, even calc questions, its time consuming but I find math much easier than pondering about grammar, because math will ALWAYS HAVE AND ABSOLUTE ANSWER even if it has an infinite range, its still and absolute answer.

nice btw nice sig Gaige

Btw Stress what country are you from? Just curious =o
