Since everything in math has an opposite. I decided there should be an opposite game to the other one I made.

So in this game you provided a equation with a varible and the next person has to solve it. and provide a new equation to be solved. Let's keep the variable simple and not something like X cause that is an mutliplication here since we can't really show multioplication with just a dot...

Example:

yanowhiz: (7z)-8 = 41

Person 1: z=7

equation: (25q+5) / 8 = 100

Person 2: q = -1.3166...

[(15n) + 9] / 3 = 500

Person 3: n = 99.4

(equation...)

So basically this can go on for ever (infinte), hehe :thumbsup:

So here I'll start it off with something simple

2p=100

hehe :flowers:

Good luck, and God speed! :trumpet:

y = -.833...

that was a tricky one I had to get out my TI-83 to work that one, lol. Anywho... next...

(9/4)x = (5x/10) + 35

Good luck. :thumbsup:

x= 35 / [(9/4) - (1/2)]
x = 20

(5/2)k + (3/4)k = (13/4)k

Correct.

k = -0.25

New equation... :thumbsup:

Pulling out the big guns here... :flowers:

( 7! * Q ) + 3 = 60.615697068490954% of 37,421

Good Luck!

k = -0.25 is correct and can be also k = 2

Q = 4.5

log 10 = (123/789)*P

Your correct.

6.414634147 = P

I've never really used the "log" function before, however my ti-83 has the button and used it.
I'm currently on in Geometry, but I know more than Geometry however. Its the only class I'm getting straight A's in...

New equation...

ln(2005) * V² = 1710.764852 / V

And you are correct... hey what is ti-83? :thumbsup:

V = 6.08

Next...

M(sin 30) = [(0.5)N] / (cos 60)
Note: M = 2N
Find M?

:flowers:

Um... I messed up that equation it was suppose to be different. (V = 15) and that each side equaled 1710.764852. Anywho... your answer is correct for that problem (off by a few decimal places). However still close. :thumbsup:

Your equation... tricky... hehe

um...

-N = .5 or N = -.5 ? :flowers:

Next equation... :trumpet:

X^3 = (T * 2) + (tan45)

T = ( pi * e)²

Please do not post any homework problems here! This spoils the fun in creating and manipulating problems. Thank you.

X^3 = (T * 2) + (tan45)

T = ( pi * e)²

N = +0.5 will look better, anyway it's still correct

X = 4.19695661221

5F - 2 = log(base 2)2

Ok I had to as my girlfriend for help on this... (I'm only in Geomtery and she is in Trig/Calc, and yet we are in the same grade level; however different schools obsiovsly...)

Anywho, we (um... she) says the answer is F = 3/5 -or- .6

Next problem.
hehe i'm kinda bending the rules here, but I thought it would be worth a try... :thumbsup:

3/5 are correct

Lets do some probability, anyway its simple...

There is a 30% chance of rain today. If it does not rain today, there is a 20% chance of rain tomorrow. If it rains today, there is a 50% chance of rain tomorrow. What is the probaability that it rains tomorrow?

Nope...

The correct answer is 5382.067048

Lemme show you the work real quickly

See?

Now my answer for your problem is 29%. This time I had to ask a tutor on-line somewhere, and this problem even confused him... :flowers:

because they are statistically dependent or something but here is our work for that...

(.3 * (.7)) + (.5 * (.3)) = 29% :trumpet:

I hope that is right...

My equation for you... (muhahaha!)

If you have 10 books on a shelf how many different possibilities can you arrange them?

btw: What is the highest math you've completed?
