Question

one sheepherder said to the other sheepherder give me 10 of your sheep to have twice as much as you. the other sheepherder answer him give me 10 of yours to have equal sheep. how many sheep dose each one have

Answer 1

let the number of sheep owned by first sheep herder as A and the 2nd one is B.

first sheepherder need another 10sheeps to hav twice of the second have.so the equation will be:

A+10=2B

now the second sheepherder need 10 more sheep to hav equal number.it can be written as:

A+10=B

u know how to solve the equations to get the answer?

Answer 2

ok thanks thats a start do i 10/2= 5 so will B = 5

Answer 3

sorry: for second equation, it should be B+10=A. NOT A+10=B

Answer 4

ok no problem..

Answer 5

what the answer u got?

Answer 6

15 and 5

Answer 7

A=15 and B= 5

Answer 8

u should get A=30 and B=20

Answer 9

o boy i suck... let me try it again

Answer 10

well. im suck to.lol. let me start all over again

Answer 11

the equations should be:
1) A+10= 2(B-10)
2) B+10= A-10

Answer 12

lol aww but if A give B 10 it wil not be = because then A will have 20 in B will have 30 am im getting to into it huh

Answer 13

for 1st equation, when farmer B give 10 of his sheeps to A, he will have less 10 sheeps and A have twice of his new amount.
thats why A+10= 2(B-10).

u understand this one?

Answer 14

yes

Answer 15

but he say give me 10 so he can have = do he mean = as 30=30 or = as the same as u before u gave me 10

Answer 16

for 2nd equation. they will have equal if A give 10 of his sheeps to B. so B hav additional 10sheeps and A hav less 10sheep.
thats why: B+10 = A-10

Answer 17

thats why u have equations:
1) A+10= 2(B-10)
2) B+10= A-10

Answer 18

u got it kisha?

Answer 19

ok i see i get it thanks well i did this other one on my own can u check it out for me 2 work are working together and their payment will b 10 $ one them work harder then the other and he will receive a 1$ more how much will each one be receiving

the answer i got was A=6 B=4

Answer 20

equations u should have:
1) A+B=10
2) A-B=1

Answer 21

from (2); A-B=1 ---> A=1+B (3)

substitute (3) into (1) yields;
(1+B)+B =10 ---> B=(10-1)/2 = 4.50

Answer 22

so A wil get $5.50.

Answer 23

i hate math i have a big quiz coming up and im trap on problem like these its so hard to come up with a equation

Answer 24

lol kisha. practice will make u better. u just have to learn to understand the situation. good luck for ur upcoming quiz. :)

Answer 25

thanks and thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu sooooooooooooooooo much words can explain
