Couple typos though. Don’t understand how did you get correct result :)
x-5 + 3(x+8) + 3x + 6 + 5x – 1 = 360

x-5 + 3X + 24 + 3X – 5 = 360

Zieba, you are right

CH914
Just remember that sum of all angles = 360, after thar it’s a simple linear equation. What grade is your kid at?

Ah-ha!

I don’t have cable, so don’t know the show.

But doesn’t “weeds” refer to pot?

CH,

I assume homework needs to be completed tonight so I’ll bite.

x-5 + 3(x+8) + 3x + 6 + 5x + 1 = 360

x-5 + 3X + 24 + 3X + 6 = 360

12x + 24 = 360

12x = 336

x = 28

a1= 28-5
a2= 3(28)+24
a3= 3(28)+6
a4= 5(28)-1

a1=23
a2=108
a3=90
a4=139

a1+a2+a3+a4 = 360

but, it’s been a while so I may be completely wrong.

Hi guys,

Long time lurker and I know we have some math whizzes here:

I need help with a kids math problem, thought I’d post it here…

The four interior angles of a quadrilateral measure x-5, 3(x+8), 3x+6, and 5x-1. Find the measures of the four angles.

thanks in advance,

Scribe,

John from Bayonne was referring to the Showtime series Weeds. Gator and I love this show. It is the ONLY series on television which I watch with regularity. Keep in mind, the only other three series I ever thought were worth watching were MASH, Cheers and 3-feet under. Everything else truly sucks and is written for the enjoyment of the average Fox News viewer.

OK maybe my uncle is OK. We’ll see one day. I would like to see him leave something to his sister. No Lie.

John,

In the last thread, you said:

I am thinking more like weeds when the brother-in-law was dating the rabbi.

Huh?

What does that mean?

But not “of course” loaded like Nom. I mean if I had Nom’s money, I’d throw mine away.

Never been late on my top three loans — thank Gawd. But lately I have been FAWKING some CC Companies just for giggles and cause if you don’t pay for a few months, they realize you DO NOT GIVE A SH*T and lower your rate to 6%. They figure it is either that or a write-off. OK, so I confess….Moral Hazzard. But F’em and I got Everything I need. I actually don’t want any more credit.

Even State Media is acknowledging the problem:

“Homeowners who ‘strategically default’ on loans a growing problem”
