How do i reverse this formula? 2013-04-20
MK pose la question :
I have 22,000,000 worth of gold and wants to want to resell the gold back with a profit. Each transaction of gold will have a transaction fee of 15%, so if i resell the gold back at 22,000,000, I will only get back 18,700,000 after 15% transaction cut. The current formula is X-15%X = Y where X = 22,000,000 and Y = 18,700,000 Will u be able to come up with a new formula if we don't know the value of X but we know the value of Y
Something like this X-15%X = 22,000,000. How do i reverse this formula to find the value of X
Thanks

A cyclic rhombus 2013-04-16
Marisa pose la question :
I know that the only rhombus that can be inscribed in a circle is a square, but why is that? I've been racking my brain and the internet for solutions, but have found no logical explainations in relation to the arc degrees and angles. Please help.

10 golfers playing four rounds 2013-04-09
Terry pose la question :
I've searched "golf" and "golf 10" but don't see 10 golfers playing four rounds (each round having one foursome plus two threesomes, and no "flights" as in one earlier answer); each player playing at least once with a maximum number of the other nine over the four rounds?

deux wagons 2013-04-05
Cyril pose la question :
Bonjour,
je suis confronté à un problème dont je n'arrive pas à trouver la solution. Le voici: "Deux wagons de masses 30 tonnes et 60 tonnes entrent en collision sur une voie ferrée droite horizontale, ne déraillent pas et restent collés ensemble après le choc. Juste après la collision, ils roulent ensemble à 10 km/h vers le nord. Sachant que le wagon léger roulait à 20km/h vers le nord avant la collision, la vitesse du wagon lourd avant la collision = ?"

Je pense qu'il faut employer la formule de la quantité de mouvement "p=mv" mais je ne sais pas comment m'y prendre...

Merci d'avance pour votre aide!

The equation of a line 2013-04-04
Miranda pose la question :
My coordinates provided are (6, 6) and (-8, 9) and i need to put this into ax=bx=c format. I remember the equation to find the slope of y2-y1/x2-x1 to get the slope. However when i put that back into the y=mx+b format it still leaves me with a lot of variables. Please help :)

A gravel pile in the shape of a triangular pyramid 2013-04-04
Casey pose la question :
Hello
Right now I am stuck and I feel embarrassed because I feel like the answer is so easy I should know it.

I am working on a project and need to find a volume of gravel it will take to occupy this triangular prism like area. I am not sure what formulas I should use whether it be that for the volume of a pyramid or something more complex? Basically it forms a right triangle at one side then from there all points slope to one singular point about 10412mm away.
I am attaching a picture drawn up in paint with the actual dimensions to clear up any confusion.

Thank you for any help. Casey
