Yes, they jolt things down causing bad handwriting
Not long after he begins to study algebra he will likely meet with the "tank" problems, the "labor" problems and many other puzzle problems. He finds these problems carefully phrased in the language of practical mathematics. However, a study of the original problems and the fanciful way in which they were stated will reveal the fact that they were originally intended mostly for puzzles. The present-day student of algebra would doubtless work as industriously over the so-called practical problems if he were told they were puzzle problems that his predecessors had worked on for the past 1600 years.
The problems given below are selected from a collection made by Metrodorus about 310 A. D. found in The Greek Anthology. It is not known how much farther back they date. It will not be difficult for the reader to trace many of the problems found in the present-day algebras back to their original source. He may judge for himself as to whether the modern text-book writer has improved the problems by leaving off the little fanciful touches of rhetoric, found in the original.
The original problems were solved by rhetorical algebra as our symbols, +, -, ×, ÷, etc., were introduced many centuries later, about 1540.

3. A child swims 50 yards in 50 seconds.
How many FEET can she swim per second?
Answer:
3 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
They swim 1 yard a second and 1 yard = 3 ft.
can someone help me answer this question please?
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = (x + 3)(x + 2)(x - 3)
The three roots are going to give - 18 so only A and D can be correct. Why minus? because at some point 3 and 2 and - 3 will all be multiplied together. When they are, the result is - 18
So why did I write x + 2 rather than x - 2? Because the roots turn an equation into 0. You are looking for a way to make x + 2 = 0. It will do that when x = - 2
which is what you were given.
Now to get the answer
(x - 3)(x + 3) = x^2 - 9
(x^2 - 9)(x + 2) = x^3 + 2x^2 - 9x - 18 = f(x)

Marco went to the cafeteria to buy chicken sandwiches, C, worth $2.00, and hamburgers, h, worth $2.50.
He bought a total of 9 items and spent a total of $20.50. How many hamburgers and chicken sandwiches
did Marco buy?
HELP
Answer:
5 Hamburgers = $12.50 4 Chicken sandwiches $8.00( $12.50 + $8.00 = $20.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Marco bought 5 hamburgers and 4 chicken sandwiches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a system of equations:
2c + 2.5h = 20.5
c + h = 9
Solve by elimination by multiplying the bottom equation by -2:
2c + 2.5h = 20.5
-2c - 2h = -18
Add the equations together and solve for h:
0.5h = 2.5
h = 5
So, he bought 5 hamburgers. Plug in 5 as h into the second equation to solve for c:
c + h = 9
c + 5 = 9
c = 4
So, Marco bought 5 hamburgers and 4 chicken sandwiches.
24. Seven tenths of a number plus 14 is less than forty-nine.
Answer:
50. ☺️☺️
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm going to assume you need this inequality solved.
First, write it as numbers, not words.
7/10n + 14 < 49
where "n" is the unknown number.
Second, if I were you, I'd change that fraction into a decimal, as it'll make life easier later on.
7/10 = 0.7
Now, solve it like you would any other equation.
0.7n + 14 < 49
0.7n +14 - 14 < 49 - 14
0.7n < 35
0.7n ÷ 0.7 < 35 ÷ 0.7
n < 50
The answer is n < 50
Answer: 50
Step-by-step explanation:
49 - 14 = 35
35/7 = 5
10 x 5 = 50
Since, 35 is Seven tenths of a number, One tenth is 5 and there are ten tenths, One tenth which is 5 times ten since there are ten tenths equals to 50 (5 x 10 = 50).
A circuit overloads at 1800 watts of electricity you plug in a toaster that uses 800 watts of electricity write and solve an inequality that represents how many watts you can add to the circuit without overloading it.
Answer:
x ≤ 1000 W
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the circuit becomes overloaded when the load exceeds 1800W and the toaster uses 800 W.
Let the additional watts be x
Therefore;
800 + x ≤ 1800
x ≤ 1800 -800
x ≤ 1000 W

The ratio of the sides of two similar rectangles is 3:5. The larger rectangle has an area of 36 sq. cm. What is the area of the smaller rectangle?
Answer:
21.6 sq cm
Step-by-step explanation:
3:5
x:36
cross-multiply because they are in proportion
x*5=3*36
divide both sides by 5
x= 3*36/5=21.6
Write an equation that could be used to find three consecutive odd integers whose sum is -3
Answer:
2x+1 + 2x+3 + 2x+5 = -3Step-by-step explanation:
2x+1 - the first odd integer
2 x+1 + 2 = 2x+3 - the next odd integer consecutive to 2x+1
2x+3+2 = 2x+5 - the odd integer consecutive to 2x+3 (the third consecutive odd integer)
2x+1 + 2x+3 + 2x+5 - the sum of three consecutive odd integers
therefore the equation:
2x+1 + 2x+3 + 2x+5 = -3
6x + 9 = -3
6x = -12
x = -2
2x+1=2(-2)+1=-3
2x+3=2(-2)+3=-1
2x+5=2(-2)+5=1
the three consecutive odd integers whose sum is -3 are: -3,-1,1
Jordan created a scale drawing of a rectangular room. The drawing is 8 inches long by 6 inches wide. He used a scale of 1 inch equals 3 ft. What is the area, in the square feet, of the room?
Answer: 432 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
If 1"=3', and the box is 8"x6", then we can simply multiply the 8 and 6 by three. You would get 24 by 18.
Follow this up by the equation a=w*l to get
a=24*18 = 432 ft^2.

Help please! Thanks!
Answer:
50
Step-by-step explanation:
120 +angle1 = 180 angle 1 is 60 70+60+angle2 should be equals 180 so 2 is 50 degree
1 is 60 degree 3 is 80 degree 4 is 100 degree 2 is 50 degree
60+40 +angle3 = 180 angle3 is 80
3+4 should be equal 180 3 is 80 180-80= 100 4 is 100

There is 1500 ft of fencing available to make 6 identical pens. Find the maximum area for EACH pen (meaning maximum of one pen).
Answer:
The maximum area is therefore is 93750 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameter are;
The a]length of fencing available = 1500 ft.
The perimeter of the figure = 9·x + 4·y
Therefore, 9·x + 4·y = 1500 ft.
The area of the figure = 6 × (x × y) = 3·x × 2·y
From the equation for the perimeter, we have;
9·x + 4·y = 1500
y = 1500/4 - 9/4·x = 375 - 9/4·x
y = 375 - 9/4·x
Substituting the value of y in the equation for the area gives;
Area = 3·x × 2·y = 3·x × 2·(375 - 9/4·x) = 2250·x - 27/2·x²
Area = 2250·x - 27/2·x²
The maximum area is found by taking the derivative and equating to zero as follows;
d(2250·x - 27/2·x²)/dx = 0
2250 - 27·x = 0
x = 2250/27 = 250/3
x = 250/3
y = 375 - 9/4·x = 375 - 9/4×250/3 = 187.5
The maximum area is therefore, 3·x × 2·y = 3 × 250/3 × 2 × 187.5 = 93750 ft²
The maximum area is therefore = 93750 ft.²

Answer:
∠GFM= 124°
Step-by-step explanation:
∠GFH= 180° -90° -(5x +9)° (∠ sum of △FGH)
∠GFH= 90° -5x° -9°
∠GFH= (81 -5x)°
∠GFM +∠GFH= 180° (adj. ∠s on a str. line)
25x -1 +81 -5x= 180
20x +80= 180 (simplify)
20x= 180 -80 (-80 on both sides)
20x= 100
x= 100 ÷20 (÷20 on both sides)
x= 5
∴∠GFM
= 25x -1
= 25(5) -1
= 124°

The triangle is right-angle so we are allowed to use the Pythagorean theorem.
According to the Pythagorean theorem :
[tex] ({XZ})^{2} = ({XY})^{2} + ({YZ})^{2} [/tex]
[tex] {65}^{2} = {56}^{2} + ( {YZ})^{2} [/tex]
[tex] {65}^{2} - {56}^{2} = ({YZ})^{2} [/tex]
[tex]( {YZ})^{2} = 1089[/tex]
[tex]YZ = \sqrt{1089} [/tex]
