nvr mind i dont need help on 28

Answer 37

@jim_thompson5910 , @dan815 r u there

Answer 38

well there are a lot of similar problems, so why not do it where we help with a few and you practice on the rest?

Answer 39

ok

Answer 40

lets start with 13-15

Answer 41

okay so lets saw for a member

for 1 year he just pays 35
a NON-member will pay lets say 5 dollars every time he uses the gym
let n the number of uses
lets see at what number of uses the
member = non member
35=5*n
when n=7, 5*7=35

so a non member if he uses the gym 7 times he will pay the same as a guy who payed for a whole year, if he uses the gym more than 7 times he will have to pay more than the guy with a membership, if he uses the gym less than 7 times he will have to pay less

Now for your question instead of 5 dollars every time he uses, they have a different number or some random number k

Answer 42

I'm stumped. It seems like there's information missing in #13. How much does it cost per visit? It doesn't say.

Answer 43

is the problem cut off or something?

Answer 44

no

Answer 45

@dan815 where did you get those values from?

Answer 46

it says that the cost of being a member of the frequent visitor program = the cost of not being a member

Answer 47

just made it up for an example, instead of 5 i think ninja has to use a variable there

Answer 48

the variable is n

Answer 49

which is the number of visits per year

Answer 50

@dan815

Answer 51

he left

Answer 52

well I still think there's missing info, but anyway, let's say the cost per day is k dollars. The k is some unknown number

if you visit n times for that year, then it costs k*n dollars

Answer 53

@_

Answer 54

set that equal to the 5 dollar yearly fee to get

k*n = 5

Answer 55

make sense?

Answer 56

so thats the equation for 13, right?

Answer 57

do you see how I formed it?

Answer 58

yes

Answer 59

what about 14 and 15

Answer 60

I think they want you to solve for n

Answer 61

in #14

Answer 62

oh let me try

Answer 63

is it 5?

Answer 64

get n all by itself in the equation `k*n = 5`

Answer 65

oh let me try it that way

Answer 66

how do u divide 5 by k

Answer 67

nvr mind how do u get n by itself

Answer 68

you just leave it like that, so you'd have

\[\Large n = \frac{5}{k}\]

Answer 69

that's what you'd have after dividing both sides by k

Answer 70

and then

Answer 71

if you knew the value of k (the number it represents), then you could replace k with that number and divide

Answer 72

but we don't know what k is so we leave it like 5/k

Answer 73

ok so thats #14

Answer 74

is it?

Answer 75

yeah

Answer 76

ok

Answer 77

#15

Answer 78

how do u do number 15

Answer 79

nvrmind i know that

Answer 80

#17??

Answer 81

what would be the answer to #15

Answer 82

actually i dunno could u help me

Answer 83

u there

Answer 84

give it a try and tell me what you think

Answer 85

is it 5 divided by the money.......i dunno!

Answer 86

what does n represent

Answer 87

the # of visits??

Answer 88

yes, so 5/k represents the number of visits (because it's equal to n)

Answer 89

if k = 1, then 5/k = 5/1 = 5

basically saying if the price per visit is $1, then you'd have to make 5 visits for the two costs to be equal

Answer 90

ok thank u very much

Answer 91

no problem

Answer 92

what about #17

Answer 93

8x + 5 = 3x + 15
solve for x

Answer 94

ok
