Omnis- LOL true. i wouldnt try putting that as an answer on my exam though :/
Exorcet- Thanks, ill try different things with those formulas !!
Spacegoat- LMAO its a 1 dollar coin in Canada ahaha
Kylehnat- You can do that yourself if you like LOL
Barra333- you got it !
Nice Job 👍, once i understood how you portrayed the working (aka figured out that you were subtracting one equation from the other) it all made perfect sense..
That's what I was thinking. Give him a hint, at most. Why work it out for him? What's he gonna do the next time?
I think his problem isn't so much that he doesn't know how to work out a two-variable problem, I think he just couldn't translate the word problem into the math expressions. Word problems kill people, for some reason.
With that, all you're really doing is starting with the substitution for Y already done, i.e. mentally skipping part of the problem. The fact that it asks for how many quarters doesn't mean that "how many dollar coins" is not part of the problem.
It's true...I was doing the second equation in my head at the very start when I set up the problem. I've done it so much at work, it's just become a habit . x + (1-x) = 1 comes up way too often .
The last thread where someone asked GTP to do their homework for them was shut down instantly. Why are you guys encouraging him? If you don't know the answer, than I'm sure your school offers after school tutoring.

Some people learn better from just seeing clearly how a problem is solved, reviewing the steps, and then applying the process to other problems. And often, text books aren't the best with their examples, from what I've seen in my time - they are either very unique cases or absurdly simplified.
It isn't just like the answer was given to him, it was a clear explanation.
I often have to see examples fully worked out. It helps me get the problem started, and I can figure out how to get from one step to the other pretty well. After using that a few times (or a lot of times with recent hard stuff) I'll be able to recognize the situation and run through them on my own.
Or legs, yes. We didn't have the internet in our pockets when I was distracted in school. With what we did have, you couldn't exactly look up what you were supposed to be learning. Kids got it so easy these days.
LOLLL, well i needed to know this cause i just did my math exam today.. and it was easy. no questions were more complicated than this surprisingly lol.
And i did get the answer but the only problem was it keep being -47 for some reaosn but i dont even care lol
AND indeed, i do stare at tits and asses. (mostly tits) lol jk (maybe, maybe not)

It's kind of funny to see how much effort teachers put into trying to put down the phone epidemic. It truly is annoying to me because I don't want to be interrupted every 5 minutes, because I'm either gazing at the board or at women and that interruption spoils everything. Guess technology's bested us people.
As for me, I don't use my phone in school, I take it but I don't get texting in school.
