r = 27m + 1

r = am-1/-a+5

thank you can you show working ? please

I haven't got any workings with mine, it was a complete guess as I'm terrible at maths. I just felt bad for you that nobody had answered and wanted to jog things on a bit.

Elise's equation looks very messy to me though, no zing to it at all, who's going to remember that? I'd like to change mine to R=AM squared.
Report Torquemada • February 5, 2017 9:52 AM GMT
Or, better yet....... R=R

Perfect. Short, pithy and unequivocally 100% correct.
Report mememe • February 5, 2017 9:54 AM GMT
Here it is ...

5r+1=a(m+r)

5r+1=am+ar

5r-ar=am-1

r(5-a)=am-1

r=(am-1)/(5-a)

BTW I'm an accountant, so if you want a different answer, just let me know (it'll cost though)

thanks elise/ mememe very creative! cd you do 1 more ?

ABCD is a trapezium

AB is 4cm
CD is k cm  longer than 4cm
BC is square root of 3 cm

The area of trapezium is 5 multiply square root 6 cm squared

calculate k in form a root b - c  where a b amd c positive intergers
Report DStyle • February 5, 2017 10:33 AM GMT
how can BC < AB and CD?
Report Capt__F • February 5, 2017 10:39 AM GMT
start top left corner
AB=4cm
BC=root 3 cm
CD=k cm longer than AB
DA is a slope up to A

Are you having trouble with your kids homework?

Imagine kids googling it and discovering a betting forum!

Haven't done quadratic equations in 30 years. Had to Google how to do them Happy

Trapezium looks like

      A ______4_____ B
       /l          l
      / l          1
     /  l          l  root 3
    /   l          1
   /____l__________l
      k
  D     X          C

Area ABCD given as (5 x root6) squared

Area ABCX = 4 x root3

Area AXD  = (5 x root6 squared) - (4 x root3)

Area AXD = (k x root3)/2


therefore (k x root 3)2 = (5 x root 6 squared) - (4 x root3)

so you can solve the value of k by just doing the above calc.

(I reckon)

If you want me to show it as an expression though, it'll cost (I'm an accountant and former management consultant so can't do it all for free)

WTF happened to my diagram when I posted the reply ...???

Fookin Betfair.

But I think you can still make it out.

If you want it again it's £10

Its not everyday someone solves 4 variables using one equation. You deserve some award for this my friend.
