Ok here it is!

A house on a lot cost $120,000!
House was $3,000 more than 5 times (x) the cost of the lot!

What is the cost of the lot and the house seperate???

Hurry, first to give the right answer wins the DTR's math wizzzzz award !!!!!!

 

5X + 3000 = 120,000

solve for X for the cost of the house
120000 - x = the costof the lot

assuming the house + lot = 120000

 

House is $100,500.
Lot is $19,500.

 

Lot - 23,400
House - 96,600

I asked my 10 year old cause I don't have a clue.

 

A ball is dropped from a height of 4 meters. Each time it strikes the pavement after falling from a height of h meters, it rebounds to a height of 0.6h meters. Find the total distance that the ball travels up and down.

EXTRA CREDIT: Assuming that a free falling ball travels 4.9t^2 meters in t seconds, find the total number of seconds that the ball travels. (A rebounding ball takes as much time to travel from the ground to the apex as to fall from the apex to the ground.)

nOW SAY ALL THAT IN ENGLISH

 

Your 10 y/o is correct

 

I almost busted a blood vessel trying to remember my algebra.

 

Here is your award Ms. Cleo !!!!!!

 

Only if "lot" refers to the whole shebang, otherwise this 46 year old is most definitely correct.
(I can take your 10 year old anyday. Bring it on. )

 

Please Explain?????????????????????????????????

 

Mathematically, the ball continues moving infinitely for infinite time..... . Now if your talking about displacement...the ball travels a maximum distance of 4 meters from its initial point. Yea, I was an engineering major....

 

Awesome! Here is how she explained it.

we know that 3000 is in play and it's 'more'. So immediately subtract 3000 from the total. 117,000.

117,000 divided by 5 times more. gave us the lot cost. 23,400

120,000 minus the lot = cost of house.

We're going to Jason's Deli now I'm tickled to death.

Edit: Now I don't know if that was Algebra or not. Its just what she said.

 

Well I'm proud of your little one! Assuming that the House and the lot are one and the same she is right! Ms. Cleo is the answer that I was looking for! But still go and buy the little one some Ice Cream! JB

 

hey, I gave the solution first, just left it in math terms.
