(120(5) + 180x)/(5+x) = 170

(120(5) + 180x)/(5+x) = 170
Yeah, I've been out of high school for 10 years myself. XD
25 x 180 = 4,500
+
5 x 120 = 600
5,100 /30 =170
+
5 x 120 = 600
5,100 /30 =170
sorry about that. tater tots. here's the math
I set up the problem the same way as @Littlewhitedragonlet: did
(120(5) + 180x)/(5+x) = 170
(600 + 180x)/(5+x) = 170
600 + 180x = 170(5+x)
600 + 180x = 850 + 170x
180x - 170x = 850 - 600
10x = 250
x = 25 km for the second part of the journey
So the whole journey was 25 + 5 = 30 km.
@Shadami: is right :)
(600 + 180x)/(5+x) = 170
600 + 180x = 170(5+x)
600 + 180x = 850 + 170x
180x - 170x = 850 - 600
10x = 250
x = 25 km for the second part of the journey
So the whole journey was 25 + 5 = 30 km.
@Shadami: is right :)
Did he stop to tie his left shoe lace? Important question.
(120(5) + 180x)/(5+x) = 170
(600 + 180x)/(5+x) = 170
600 + 180x = 170(5+x)
600 + 180x = 850 + 170x
180x - 170x = 850 - 600
10x = 250
x = 25
5 + 25 = 30, so
The journey took 30 hours, like Shadami and Theory said ^-^
@Theory: you should probably put that under a spoiler in case others want to solve it, I think? Sorry ^^;
it took me 5 post-it notes to figure it out cause I kept forgetting how to do algebra XD
@Theory: it's no problem, I was just thinking if other people wanted to solve it, idk XD
I'm sitting this one out coz I'm lazy XD

@Dipper: Nah, you're right. I'm still solving the ones I missed, so I get it :P
Well, hopefully someone got it right.
Waiting game now.

@Theory: good luck O3O
@Miss Kitty: indeed hehe
I should work on my essay...or eat dinner
Lol

@Dipper: Well here's problem 2. I'm actually not bothering with the first one, all that counting looks way too tedious xD
4 large + 2 small takes the same amount of time as 2 large and 6 small
4L + 2S = 2L + 6S
4L - 2L = 6S - 2S
2L = 4S
L = 2S (A large brush can paint twice as much as a small. I'm gonna sub 2S in for L everywhere and convert all my large brushes to small so I have fewer variables)
4L + 2S = 10S
2L + 6S = 10S (we already knew it would be the same)
8L + 8S = 24S
It takes two hours to paint the garden with 10 small brushes. The more brushes we have, the less time it should take, so brushes and time have an inverse relationship. That means when I multiply or divide my brushes, I should do the opposite to my time.
10 brushes takes 120 minutes
10/10 brushes takes 120*10 min
1 brush takes 1200 min
1*24 brushes takes 1200/24 min
24 brushes takes 50 minutes to paint the whole garden
We wanted only half the garden though, so it would take half the time, or 25 minutes.

I just guess and checked on my calcuator while i took food out of the oven until i got the correct average. xD
@Shadami: Hey, I won't knock trial and error! It's not the fastest way but it can definitely work xD

@Shadami: LOL I mean "how'd you solve this math problem?" "I guessed" is a very valid conversation
I didn't just guess. Ii also doue checked :D 
Currently recovering from large amounts of PTSD. I'll post when I can, please ping for replies. Things are very difficult for me right now.
Huh? Oh!
The White Rabbit sits up, pretending he wasn't just napping.
yeah hey good job guys hah... How uh, long have you had that solved? Geez. Good job, let's do another huh?
