2005 AMC 8 Problems/Problem 20
Problem
Alice and Bob play a game involving a circle whose circumference is divided by 12 equally-spaced points. The points are numbered clockwise, from 1 to 12. Both start on point 12. Alice moves clockwise and Bob, counterclockwise. In a turn of the game, Alice moves 5 points clockwise and Bob moves 9 points counterclockwise. The game ends when they stop on the same point. How many turns will this take?
$\textbf{(A)}\ 6\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 8\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 12\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 14\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 24$
Solution
Alice moves $5k$ steps and Bob moves $9k$ steps, where $k$ is the turn they are on. Alice and Bob coincide when the number of steps they move collectively, $14k$, is a multiple of $12$. Since this number must be a multiple of $12$, as stated in the previous sentence, $14$ has a factor $2$, $k$ must have a factor of $6$. The smallest number of turns that is a multiple of $6$ is $\boxed{\textbf{(A)}\ 6}$.

Answer:
m = [tex]\frac{-421}{6}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
x
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
3m+3m=−7−12−18−(16)x(24)
3m+3m=−7+−12+−18+(−384)
(3m+3m)=(−7+−12+−18+(−384))(Combine Like Terms)
6m=−421
6m=−421
Step 2: Divide both sides by 6.
[tex]\frac{6m}{6} =\frac{-421}{6}[/tex]
m = [tex]\frac{-421}{6}[/tex]

Answer:
x < 6
Step-by-step explanation:
1) -5x > -30
2) divide both sides by -5
3) flip the sign as we divided inequality by a negative
4) x < 6

x + 2y = 7
x - y = 1
Solve for x and y?
Answer:
y=2
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
make x - y = 1 into x= y + 1
put that wherever x is in the other equation
so y + 1 + 2y =7. then combine like terms into 3y =6. then divide 6 by 3 so you get y = 2
then substitute 2 into the y in the equation x - y = 1 and you get x = 3
METHOD OF ELIMINATION:
Given pair of linear equations are:
x+2y= 7 – – – Eqn(i)
On comparing with a1x+b1y+c1 = 0
a1 = 1, b1 = 2, c1 = -7x-y = 1 – – – Eqn(ii)
On comparing with a2x+b2y+c2 = 0
a2 = 1, b2 = -1 , c2 = -1a1/a2 = 1/1 = 1
b1/b2 = 2/-1 = -2
c1/c2 = -7/-1 = 7
We have,
a1/a2 ≠ b1/b2 ≠ c1/c2
So, Given pair of linear equations in two variables have a unique solution.
Now,
On Subtracting eqn(ii) from eqn(i) then
x+2y = 7
x-y = 1
(-)
_______
0 +3y = 6
_______
⇛ 3y = 6
⇛ y = 6/3
⇛ y = 2
On Substituting the value of y in (1) then
⇛ x-2 = 1
⇛ x = 1+2
⇛x = 3
Answer: Therefore , the value of x and y with be (3,2) respectively.
Additional comment:
If a₁x+b₁y+c₁ = 0 and a₂x+b₂y+c₂ = 0 are pair of linear equations in two variables thenIf a₁/a₂ ≠b₁/b₂ ≠ c₁/c₂ then they are Consistent and independent lines or Intersecting lines and they have a unique solution.If a₁/a₂ = b₁/b₂ = c₁/c₂ then they are Consistent and dependent lines or Coincident lines and they have infinitely number of many solutions.If a₁/a₂ =b₁/b₂ ≠ c₁/c₂ then they are Inconsistent lines or Parallel lines lines and they have no solution.write one in factor form with solutions 3,-1,-3i?

Answer:
2nd option
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form of an exponential function is
y = a[tex]b^{x}[/tex]
Use points on the graph to find a and b
Using (0, 5 ) , then
5 = a[tex]b^{0}[/tex] = a
Then
y = 5[tex]b^{x}[/tex]
Using (1, 2 )
2 = 5[tex]b^{1}[/tex] = 5b ( divide both sides by 5 )
[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] = b
Thus
f(x) = 5[tex](\frac{2}{5}) ^{x}[/tex] ← equation of graph
[tex] \frac{5}{5x - 7} = 10[/tex]
solve the equation.

the numbers 1 to 9 are randomly arranged to form a 9-digit number. what is the probability that the number obtained is divisible by 18?
(please write the solution)
Answer:
Hence the probability that the number is divisible by 18 is 4/9 or approx. 0.4444. or even 44.4%
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have 9 digits 1–9 placed randomly to form a 9-digit number without repetition and we want the probability of that number is divisible by 18, then we only need to look at the fact if it is divisible by 18, then it is also divisible by 2 and 9. Adding the digits 1–9 would give us the following (including checking for divisibility by 9):
(9 x 10)/2 =90/2 = 45
45÷9=5
By divisibility of 9, if the sum of the digits is divisible by 9, then the original number itself is divisible by 9. Since the number 45 is divisible by 9, we know that all the possible 9-digit numbers will be as well. The only thing we would have to look at is if it is even since the number has to be divisible by 2.
There are 9 digits of which 4 are even (2, 4, 6 or 8).
So the probability that the number is divisible by 2 is 4/9.
Hence the probability that the number is divisible by 18 is 4/9 or approx. 0.4444.

The price of a pair of shoes increases from $54 to $68. What is the percent increase to the nearest percent? [The percent increase is ___%]
Answer:
25.93%
Step-by-step explanation:
Percent change formula is [tex]\frac{(V_2-V_1)}{|V_1|}[/tex]x 100
v2 = value 2
v1 = Value 1
now you substitute in.
[tex]\frac{68-54}{|54|}[/tex]x 100
[tex]\frac{14}{54}[/tex]x100
0.259259x100
= 25.9259% or 25.93%
Now that Yardley Auto Repair has a different owner, its mechanics make $35 per hour. That is 25% more than they originally made. How much did the mechanics use to make per hour?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So the Yardley people got a raise! Hurray! They make ALL that they made before and a little bit more.
Let x = original pay
100% of x is what they made before.
25% of x is the amount of raise they got.
100% of x should be written 1x, or just x (convert the % to a decimal)
25% of x should be written .25x
So a math sentence that says their original pay plus their raise is now $35 would be written
1x + .25x = 35
Combine the x terms.
1.25x = 35 Now divide both sides by 1.25 to get the x all by itself.
1.25x/1.25 = 35/1.25
x = 28 Remember what x stood for? x is the original pay. The mechanics used to make $28 per hour.

Factor 26r3s 52r5 â€"" 39r2s4. What is the resulting expression? 13(2r3s 4r5 â€"" 3r2s4) 13r2s(2r 4r3 â€"" 3s3) 13r2(2rs 4r3 â€"" 3s4) 13r2(26r3s 52r5 â€"" 39r2s4).
The resulting expression from the factorization of 26r³s + 52r^(5) - 39r²s⁴ is; 13r²(2rs + 4r³ - 3s⁴)
We want to factor the algebraic expression;
26r³s + 52r^(5) - 39r²s⁴
Now, we need to first find the highest common factor here and factorize out.
First of all for the letters;
The highest common factor of the letters is r²
Factors of 26 = 1, 2, 13, 26
Factors of 39 = 1, 3, 13, 39
Factors of 52 = 1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52
The highest common factor for the 3 numbers is 13.
Thus,in total, the highest common factor for the algebraic expression is 13r².
Finally, we have;
13r²(2rs + 4r³ - 3s⁴)
