    Why am I getting two different results? 15% of what is 7?

    You say that you are planning on dividing the 7 by 0.15, but instead you divided by 15!

    Draw one specific card!

    You seem to be correct about the dealer getting two cards these days. I might be wrong but I recall that in the 80's that the dealer only got one card. Thanks for updating this for me!

    Draw one specific card!

    Actually the dealer gets one (up) card. After all the players are done, then the dealer takes their 2nd card (unless everyone already lost)

    Draw one specific card!

    Why can't 4 cards be drawn? One player and the dealer--the player stands with 18 (say two 9's) and the dealer gets 2 picture cards. Why is 13 the max? 6 players plus the dealer--why can't each player get 5 cards each? Suppose player 1, 2, 3 and 4 gets an A, 3, 5, 7 and 10, and player 5 and 6...

    How to pick some numbers out of 13 integers, from an 4 digits code

    You didn't mention anything about someone wanting any numbers from a list. I can only assume that the list is from 1 to 13(?????) In the red above you mentioned him. Is this him the same person whom gave you the code??

    I think that I need to retake (and retake) our mind reading class for this one.

    I have no clue how to solve this please explain it

    Let x = the number of pencils you produce. Let y = the number of pens that you produce. The company produces at least 30 packs of pens each day but no more than 40. 30<y<40 The company produces at least 90 packs of pencils each day but no more than 110. ???? A total of less than 130 packs of...

    Help with this trig equation.

    You might also need the fact that cos2A = (1+cos(2A))/2

    How to find the minimum value of a tricky function

    f(x) = |x| + |x + 1| + |x + 2| ... |x + 55| f(0) = 1+2+...+55 f(-55) = 55 + 54 +...+1 (same as above) Letting x>0 will give a larger answer than above. Now consider x values such that x<0. If you think about it, you'll realize that x>-55 Now go and get your hands dirty.

    Can I not assume the modulus of something is the square root of the squared variable

    Squaring just one side of an inequality usually doesn't work.

    How do I find the nth term of this sequence?

    Forget the - signs for a moment. Then the sequence is 1 2 3 4 5... Clearly the nth term in my sequence will be n. You get to show how you would decide if the n is + or -.

    indexing ... how to solve (5th-rt(243) * sqrt(64^3))/(27^(2/3) * 512^(-2/3))

    This is a help forum where we help students solve their problems as compared to doing it for them. Did you read the posting guidelines? To compute the fifth root of 243 you want to find a single number that when you multiply it by itself 5 times will give you 243. That single number will be...
