Darth Legion: I am not sure what time zone you are in but I do not usually go online in the morning and am at school at noon. It is not necessary to continue your comments on my wall. I am sorry there is a time gap between posts but I will post as soon as it is possible.

No problem! I've gotten to the point where algebra seems rather fun. Algebra never asked me to carbon date a tree that fell when Mount Mazama erupted. =.='

when you're convinced you could drive in real life.

This is the point where I start to get alarmed. Sometimes, I wonder if people think they will survive getting hit by a car because they have another "life".

well, i know i DON'T play video games too much cuz i have no idea what half the stuff on this thread is about!

I was thinking the same thing! Except, I probably don't know what 90% of the things on here are. =.='

Oops. I just went through the other posts and found out there was a games and geeky things theme. Oh well.

Javert- Les Misérables?

I'll let someone else do the next quote.

Oromis from Eldest? "The Nature of Evil"?

Yes.

Hmmm, well thank you for trying to help me, though, Oboe Passion. I was hoping for a more thorough detailed explanation. I think my major problem is that I didn't realize or understand that "18-foot sectons or 20-foot sections" refers to the length of each of the section. If I had understood that piece of information, I would have used simple multiplication to find the total length. Another level of difficulty for me was that I didn't understand that the problem was setting up the length of pipe with the 18-foot sections is the same to the length of the pipe with the 20-foot sections.

So I guess, if I let X to be the number of pipe length of the pipe with the 18 foot sections, then X - 10 would be the number of pipe length of the pipe with the 20 foot sections. So the total length of 18-foot sections pipe = 18x, and the total length of the 20-foot sections pipe = 20 (X-10). Since both pipes have the same length, the equation should be

18x = 20(x-10) or X = 1000 feet. So the total length would be 8(1000) or 8,000 feet long.

Not quite. Where did you get the 8 from? Let's start with the equation you have.

18x(number of 18-foot pipes)=20(x-10 sections of pipe)

Using the distributive property, we get 18x=20x-200

Solving for x, we get -2x=200 x=100

Substitute 100 for x in the term 18x. 18*100=1800

Investigate the house and hope the "scene of the crime" hasn't been contaminated.

I am assuming a few things:

1. The cat and dog stop when they get to the other side.

2. The chicken stops walking after 10 minutes.

3. The question is referring to the amount of time that it takes to get to the farm from the time the farmer wakes up.

3 hours, 14.5 minutes.

A couple of things:

1. Your chicken walks ridiculously fast for a chicken

2. How do you walk faster than you run?

Could this situation happen in real life?

Houston, we have a problem.

They are hospital room numbers. Other than that, agreed with sana88.

What is the exact wording of this problem? No matter what composite number you use, it can be divided by itself meaning that it is divisible by a nonprime number. If it can be divisible by itself, I would multiply two prime numbers. The first five prime numbers are 3, 5, 7, 11, 13. . . Multiplying any of these numbers together should work. For example, 3*5 is 15. Hope this is what you're looking for.

In this case, you should round your answer. You pay by the month, not by half a month, a third a month, etc. 35.
