It finds the line for the equation (kinda complicated) and uses this to work it out. Sorry to be so vague.

You have to be kidding! Like you, math and I aren’t friends. We aren’t even on speaking terms. After 5th grade, I can’t help my children with math homework. Baby girl is now in the 5th grade, and her time is just about up!

I’d give it a go, Kathy, but I can’t stop laughing at cardiogirl’s comment.

And I lied…I wouldn’t give it a go…I suck bean curd cakes when it comes to numbers. Argh.

The approach taken by Kathy is the correct on e and the result is just: x=1000/77
Please do not try to compute it unless you are in a Physics class where you need an approximate value.

.23x – x-10
.23x -x = -10
-.77x = -10
divide both equation by -.77
then x= 12.99

i bet some has d same answer with me, this is the correct one!!!

Not adding to the sums – but it is so strange that we speak the same language and yet in Britain it is always referred to as mathematics or maths. First school tend to use the word sums.

x = .23x + 10
x + 10 = .23x
.23x – x = 10
-.77x = 10
x = – 10/.77
x = -12.99

Cardiogirl — I’m sorry. You’re right. Point noted. Swear, no more math!

The Hawg! — Says you, me and mostly everyone else.

unfinishedrambler — Ha! I would too. Not a whole lot of enjoyment here, except for the math experts in the crowd.

carol at A Second Cup — I believe you.

Bobbi — I deserved that.

The Mother — It may be 7th grade math, but you can tell how long half the people here have been out of 7th grade.

pussreboots — I’m bummed because you’re on Pacific coast time and I’ll probably never get there when stuff is happening, but I want to, because it sounds like a blast and I just might learn something.

Heidi at trulyengaging — I didn’t even bother looking those words up, and I’m still not!

Leah Rubin — Funny! Yeah, poor “x,” no one ever knowing who he is and always isolating him. Of course, he has good company with “y” in certain equations. So there’s that. Thanks for playing!

grannyann — I see your posts, but when I click Home, I get an error (jut an FYI).

Michelle Gartner — Actually, you can blame writer’s block in this case.

Oh man! and this is a humor blog… I blame the politicians in Washington for making the general populace so humorless that we are now blogging about math.

Carry on… ;0P

Okey doke… It’s really simple algebra, which is NOT an oxymoron. (George Bush was an oxymoron.) Anyhoo…
x(.23)=x-10
Now add 10 to each side to isolate x. (Awww… Poor x.)
That gives you
.23x+10=x
Now you subtract .23x to each side and get
10=x-.23x which is just like saying 10= .77x
Now you divide each side by .77 (isolating x for real this time) and get x=10 divided by .77 which is 12.987
I’m taking my bow now! Sorry– I’m the ultimate nerd.
