@perl

OpenStudy (perl):

would you like help with that?

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

Can't I write It like this" 480/x - 480/x + 20 = 12?

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

\[\frac{ 480 }{ x } -\frac{ 480 }{x+20 } = 12\]

OpenStudy (perl):

yes that works

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

What next?

OpenStudy (perl):

if we increase the number of children by 20, then the amount received per child is decreased by 12. 480/(x+20) = 480/x - 12

OpenStudy (perl):

multiply both sides by x(x+20)

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

I got, 12x^2 + 240x - 9,600 = 0

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

@perl

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

OpenStudy (perl):
