x^2-y^2 = (x+y)(x-y)
Is that true? |

Foinavon I will be honest I have missed these exchanges so no more politics from me,

I'm still digging away at them but more cautiously than you have done. Same side of the coin though

I used to be an 'all or nothing kind of guy' (that's what my ex missus used to say in the bedroom
) but now i'm chilled. |

Have you factored in the 5p bag??? You don't think for one moment our friend is gonna rome around town like a common thug?

what is the correct answer? is this an X2 or X x X = bull**** type question?
if the total cost was £1:10 & the bat coast £1 then subtracting £1 from £1.10 = £0.10 but if the costs of the bat & ball are added then it is £0.05. sh!t that is weird. I always hated maths |
|
By:
Lol see what you did there! easy for me.. the ball cost £0:15p the bat was £1:00 5p extra for the bag these days

32x32...minus 2=30..plus 2=34...3x34=102 add a xero=1020 add the 2x2=4..total 1024.

a guinea for the bat and a shilling for the ball.

If you lose the ball, don't keep the bat in your car. Plod don't like it.

Kevin Bridges had a gag about the sports shop in Glasgow that sold hundreds of baseball bats but
has never sold a baseball |

The add squares thing described above isn't correct. Why would adding two numbers always equal the difference? Makes no sense.
Random example: 60^2 = 3600 30^2 = 900 Difference is 2700 60 + 30 = 90, x10 = 900 or 10^2 = 100 5^2 = 25 differnce = 75 (10+5) *10 = 150! |
|
By:
60+30=90 60-30= 30 ....30x90=2700 Back of class and detention for you.
 The total of the two multiplied by the difference between them |

Oh I thought you said just to multiply x10. Well yes that's probably correct..
(X * X) - (Y * Y) = (X + Y) * (X - Y) .. yes that's correct as the +-Y cancels out the dodgy XY. Woops foinavon said that :P I should learn my lesson, I missed out on a school prize by answering a question perfectly well .. I'd misread the question so it was perfect for what I thought I'd read but wrong for what it actually said, which was ***ing annoying as I should have got it right, and won that prize, and all the girl groupies that went with it ;) Does it still hurt? Does it? Huge wasp sting like pain, eating away at my heart? YES! :) |

JC perhaps I could have explained it better in the earlier example and given anoyher example to demonstrate it. |

In my defence I read this late last night when lurking with a severe hangover and couldn't be ar*ed logging on.
I should have re-read it today when my brain was working. But I'm going to be a good boy tonight, there is a chilled bottle of white wine just begging me to drink it and pretend I'm on a foreign holiday but I won't! Or will I. No! (JC * Alcohol) = (Ars*hole ^ 2) |

Go for it |

How much did the ball cost £1.10

5p is the answer...(unless someone knows better)!

He must have been taking notice when English was being taught .

I hope that wasn't directed at me!
I'll have you know I know ALL the numbers. 1. 2. 3. 4 I think. I could go on, but I think I proved my point. |
