Sure I'll do my best.
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you have 6 nickels, so you have 6*5 = 30 cents
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so you got it, congrats
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
lol well you got it just fine nonetheless
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what is 3x?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
ah ok,
3x nickels = 5*3x = 15x cents
So 3x nickels are worth 15x cents
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yep
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
whats the next step
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
good
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
then what

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yep
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
good
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
well D is the number of dollars, how do we convert that into cents?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
close, 100D cents
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
ex: if D = 2, then 100D = 100(2) = 200 cents

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
oh and D = 2 means you have $2
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yep, then what
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
good
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you definitely know what you're doing
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
ok do you know what consecutive odd integers are?
Join the QuestionCove community and study together with friends!
Sign Up
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
good
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
those are two general consecutive odd integers
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
adding them will get you 112
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yep
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
now solve for x

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
good
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what's next
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yep, skipped a bit of steps, but you got the right answer
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so what are the two integers then
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yep

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
which number is bigger, x or x+1?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
"4 times the larger " ---> 4(x+1)
"3 times the smaller " ---> 3x
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so "4 times the larger exceeds 3 times the smaller by 23" means 4(x+1) = 3x+23
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
now solve for x to find the first integer
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
4(x+1) = 3x+23
4x+4 = 3x+23
4x-3x = 23-4
x = 19

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so the two integers are 19 and 20
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
oh sry
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
that's the value of the right side
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
but all you need are the two integers
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yeah that's to check

Represent the value of each of the following in cents 8.75
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
is that 8.75 dollars?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
ok you know what to do
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
to convert from dollars to cents, we multiply by what?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
good
Join the QuestionCove community and study together with friends!
Sign Up
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so multiply 8.75 by 100 to get?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yep
OpenStudy (pokemon23):
so I just write 875 cents
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yep
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you got it
Join the QuestionCove community and study together with friends!
Sign Up
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
if you want, you can think of it as 875 pennies
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
well 1 penny = 1 cent, so multiply both sides by x to get
x pennies = x cents
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
and 1 nickel = 5 cents
this time, multiply both sides by 2x to get
2x nickels = 10x cents
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
bingo
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
now add the two figures: x+10x = ??

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yep
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
11x cents
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
if it seems odd with the x, try plugging in different values in for x

are you good at science?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
depends, what science is it

OpenStudy (pokemon23):
well it observation and inferences?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
ok what's the question
OpenStudy (pokemon23):
I need to write a 500 word report with bibliography
OpenStudy (pokemon23):
how long is a 500 word report?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
hmm maybe a page or so

Sign Up
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
it's not much
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
it's probably less now that I think about it
OpenStudy (pokemon23):
can you help me write it
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
sure
OpenStudy (pokemon23):
I got no clue where to begin with?
Join the QuestionCove community and study together with friends!
Sign Up
OpenStudy (pokemon23):
thanks Jim
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what are you writing about
OpenStudy (pokemon23):
I need to write about Observations and inferences
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
that's it? nothing else?
OpenStudy (pokemon23):
nope that's it
Join the QuestionCove community and study together with friends!
Sign Up
OpenStudy (pokemon23):
also a bibliography
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
observations on what? or just about observations in general?
OpenStudy (pokemon23):
i guess observation in general about science
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
a bibliography is just a works cited page (ie where you got your info)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
ok why is observation so important to science then
Join the QuestionCove community and study together with friends!
Sign Up
OpenStudy (pokemon23):
I guess so
OpenStudy (pokemon23):
i guess define the term observation and inferences and why its important to science
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yes that's a good start
OpenStudy (pokemon23):
so ya I got the basic idea
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so introduce the terms/concepts of observations and inferences
Join the QuestionCove community and study together with friends!
Sign Up
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
go over them in detail
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
then conclude
OpenStudy (pokemon23):
help me look for a websites
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
a conclusion is just a restatement of what you've been saying all along in the paper (just a shortened version of it)
OpenStudy (pokemon23):
let me exchange my email

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
alright
OpenStudy (pokemon23):
so lets begin writing this
OpenStudy (pokemon23):
ok so
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so did your teacher give you a list of sources to consult
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
or a place to look

no he didn't a like a grinch
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
lol
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
but he did say what type of sources you could use right?
