Richiez: @johnpaul, don't feel too bad that we solve your questions too easily, just bring them on....simple or difficult but make sure you're bring them so that it can build your mathematics skills, and not to test us. one love

i cant believe u wud say this richiez, i told u dat i'm preparing for my s.waec, and wen i found out about u and dis site, i was so impressed, because i've had so many problems in maths, those dat i couldnt solve was wat i posted nd fortunately, u nd ur felo mathematicians helped me, i still have many unanswered mathematical question i wud luv u 2 help me with, but no airtime..........moreover......i wouldnt dare.....bsides, wat gives u d feeling dat i'm trying 2 test u?

in a positive numbr of two digits, the sum of the digits is 15. If the digits are interchanged, the numbr is increased by 9. Find the numbr

thanks richiez, it worked, it's really gud 2 go back 2 old school work 2 refresh memory, this is really a site for mathematicians like u nd ur frnds(osita and co), keep it up

Richiez: well, basically i'd say it's a gift to be good at logical reasoning just like it is a gift to be able to sing very well.
However, in the introductory part of this thread, i gave the following tips and i hope this helps you out;

1. you have to develop a great interest for maths, and have that strong desire to become a maths guru.

2. Realize that there's nothing magic about mathematics.

3. make friends with people who appreciate mathematics.

4. practise as many maths questions as possible, starting from the very simple ones to more complex ones. develop the urge to solve them on your own, but you can always seek for assistance whenever you get hooked.

5. do not forget any new thing you have learnt, keep reviewing them.

6. learn to memorize some basic maths formulas as this will build your confidence.

GOOD LUCK

thanks guy, i'll try 2 keep 2 this standards

my questions might luk 2 boring, but its always gud 2 go back 2 jss calculations, nd dats wat i'm trying 2 do but i keep getting confused and frustrated, plz tell me rechiez, how can i b like u?

mayb u can still help me with this: a cyclist cycles for x hours at 12km/h and y hours at 18km/h. Altogether she cycles 78km in 5 hours, find x and y

wow, this is gr8, it didnt even took u up to 5 minutes 2 solve it

a question which goes like this: an equilateral triangle with the lengths of its sides given in terms of a and b, the length are as follows
4acm
3bcm
(a+b+3)cm
find a and b and hence find the length of the sides of the triangle?
Gudluck

Richiez: Well this question nothing near a threat for a Jss kid, let alone a maths guru.....here's your solution

Let A's money = A
and B's money = B

(1/2)A + (1/5)B = 100 .......(1)
(2/3)A + (2/5)B = 150 .......(2)

now, multiply eqn(1) by 2

A + (2/5)B = 200 ............(3)

next, subtract eqn(2) from eqn(3)
_ A + (2/5)B = 200
(2/3)A + (2/5)B = 150

(1/3)A = 50
A = 50*3 =150
from eqn(3)
A + (2/5)B = 200
(2/5)B = 200-A
therefore B = 5/2(200-A)
= 5/2(200-150)
= 5/2(50)= 125
A's money =#150
B's money =#125

thanks a lot guru, but i still have more of those simple, jss, questions dat is confusing me

where is the best place to write waec

where do i download dat frm? @ F.K.O

does it mean u cant solve it?@osita dima does it mean u cant solve it?@osita dima

please what is the incoming and outgoing server of the ovi mail on my symbian, nokia N72

if u re truely a maths guru as u claim u are, then i believe u can solve this: half of A's money plus one-fifth of B's makes #100. Two-thirds of A's money plus two-fifths of B's makes #150. How much money has each? This is simultaneous equation, show ur workings

[b][/b] dat is fantastic
