While we're talking nerd stuff, gotta throw out this: http://www.addictingclips.com/Clip.aspx ... C9187DF5C1

And how would you use that?
You didn't even provide an equation where your x value is actually used.

By the way, you can write it as x=100000000900.

HUARGH!!! I come here to get away from this stuff!

Back to homework. . .

Hm.. what about 20x+50=1902? I know that x would be a large-ish number..

X = 92.6

Easy stuff there.

Yeah, rewrite it as 20x=1852, then x=1852/20, and finally x=92.6.

i'll stick to my dumbed douwn police foundations course....although i have to pick a general elective for second year....grr, ah well defencive tactics should be fun

That's because I'm a dodo. Tell National Geographic it ain't extinct, and that they can study its behaviors on Runestorm by tracking down a so-called "KylinRage".

To be good at maths, you need to listen to the teacher.
Which applies to more courses, though English is an exception, you barely need a brain to learn the basics.

Listen to a math teacher?

That's like watching paint dry...

No, watching paint dry is as dull as teaching people with your attitude.

I think your math teacher(s) is a lot different than mine...

Hemay know what he's doing and does it well, but that hardly changes the fact that his way of teaching is extremely and mind-numbingly boring...

It is hard to keep your attention held on someone so boring... Most of the time I learn whatever is being taught at the time on my own, and generally using rather unorthodox, yet effective, methods.

I had a teacher for 2 courses that barely spoke Icelandic. I think it's just a matter of being interested in what is being taught, but of course the teacher needs to earn the attention of the students.

I think you are 100% right there, Bjossi.
