Hey guest,
Let's try and solve for the question mark. Note that I have replaced the question mark with a more standard symbol, x. Below is a representation of the equation in LaTeX form:
\(1\frac{3}{5}(1999*\frac{1}{24}+x)-3\frac{5}{11}*3\frac{2}{3}=127\)
\(1\frac{3}{5}(1999*\frac{1}{24}+x)-3\frac{5}{11}*3\frac{2}{3}=127\) | Mixed numbers may be nice to look at, but they are fairly clumsy when algebraic computation is involved. I will convert all mixed numbers into improper fractions. |
\(\frac{8}{5}(\frac{1999}{24}+x)-\frac{38}{11}*\frac{11}{3}=127\) | Let's do some simplification and distribution. |
\(\frac{8}{5}*\frac{1999}{24}=\frac{1}{5}*\frac{1999}{3}=\textcolor{red}{\frac{1999}{15}}\\ \frac{38}{11}*\frac{11}{3}=38*\frac{1}{3}=\textcolor{blue}{\frac{38}{3}}\) | |
\(\textcolor{red}{\frac{1999}{15}}+\frac{8}{5}x-\textcolor{blue}{\frac{38}{3}}=127\) | In general, I recommend for situations like this to multiply both sides by the LCD. This will eliminate all instances of fractions. The LCD, in this case, is 15. |
\(1999+24x-190=1905\) | Let's do some more simplification on the left-hand side of the equation. |
\(24x+1809=1905\) | Subtract 1809 on both sides. |
\(24x=96\) | Divide by 24 on both sides to isolate x completely. |
\(x=4\) | |
The only high school student I’ve (knowingly) trolled is Max Wong
Wrong. here you harass miranda after he got banned, here you scold an AoPS student and here you calmly correct a "12-year-old". It's very convenient for you to categorize everyone as a "BB", as a dumb kid or as an old, uneducated nobody. I'm not college aged nor am i a "post retirement aged male", but that is how you categorize me, making it so much easier to criticize me.
Funnily enough, you barely categorize any of them as high school students, so it's never your mistake if what i mentioned DOES apply to you- you just didn't know they were highschool students. my point wasn't that you knowingly troll high school students or that you take pleasure in viciously attacking poor, helpless students.
So a “guest” quotes a my post, where I admit a mistake, and you agree with the guest that I’m very quick to judge others. That’s not a stretch, it’s a complete non sequitur.
"Don't pontificate on anything or everything, because nobody gives a rat's behind of what you think"
"I clearly see that you are seeking a confrontation with anybody and everybody"
Only you and your idiot BB brothers would think the answers are perfectly fine.
But you yourself admitted in various posts, including here, here and here that you did just that.
