MATH TIME!

Okay, so what I would do is begin by setting:

m = 13

or:

13 = -(1/2)|s - 55| + 20

Subtract 20 from both sides:

-7 = -(1/2)|s - 55|

Multiply both sides by -2:

14 = |s - 55|

This will be true if:

s - 55 = ±14

Add 55 to both sides:

s = 55 ± 14

So, we have:

s = 41, 69

Let's let R be the retail price and W be the wholesale price. From the given information, we are tole the relationship between the two is:

R = 1.75W + 6 = (7/4)W + 6

We need to solve this for W, to get W as a function of R. So subtract 6 from both sides:

R - 6 = (7/4)W

Multiply both sides by 4/7:

W = (4/7)(R - 6)

Now, we have a formula we can use to answer the given question. We are told:

R = 146

Hence:

W = (4/7)(146 - 6) = (4/7)(140) = (4/7)(20*7) = 4*20 = 80

Thus, we find that the wholesale price of a coat that retails for $146 is $80.

 

OMG HOW DID I NOT GET THIS

 

Okay...here is your quiz...

 

Mark I owe you a gift card or something haha

 

I appreciate the sentiment, but I enjoy helping people with math.

 

Please approve my moderated post.

 

I just did before entering this thread.

 

Not that derailing thread is my specialty but I could have swear I saw 25.jpg a picture of a dead deer.
How do you search for an image actually?

 

You'd probably have to be able to query the database to search for something like that...I don't get anything when I use the forum search, nor when I use google with the site: modifier.

 

Oh, PM me the link please. I saw it randomly while logged out. I wasn't sure since it was only a thumbnail.

Edit: Missread, I thought you found it using Google.

 

It turns out I had a typo in my google search...but I get 8 pages of results...LOL!

 

@MarkFL

8) ? (-infinity,infinity)?
9) [0,Infinity)
10) A) [4,-4] , B) ??? , C) [1,-2]
11) ^2Root B x ^2RootAC

13) ??
14) x(ax+b)
15) (3a^2+2b^3)(9a+4b^3)
16) ? I get to x(x^2-8x+19) and that's about as far as I can get unless I use the quadratic equation.
17) ???
18)x^4y^6(X+Y)(X-Y) (I feel this is wrong haha)
19) ^2root 2, -2
20) F (imaginary is (-) right?)
21) T
22) F
23) ? (not sure)
24) T (I think?)
A) x = -b/a
B) ????
C) X = 9 or -5

25) ? No idea how to get that.

 

Just wanted to leave a quick note that I will grade your quiz tonight when I am in for the night.

 

Thanks Mark!!! I feel like I did okay, but got a lot wrong. haha

 

Okay, here are your results.

 

Number 11 had a formatting issue...it should be:

 

I just realize something important!

I can actually ask you how to write down the language properly in mathematical symbolism for any logical intuition I have.

 

Logic isn't an area in which I have much expertise, but I know folks who do.

 

@MarkFL Well I didn't do as bad as I thought I did at least haha got some work still do to, going to need help on more of the word problems soon T.T

 

@MarkFL Need some assistance with 1 & 5 not 100% sure what to do...
