Re: Oral puzzles
Hi;
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: Oral puzzles
Hi;
The solution #3772 is correct. Neat work, bobbym!
#3773. Find the value of k for which each of the following system of equations have infinitely many solution:
4x + 5y = 3,
kx + 15y = 9.

Re: Oral puzzles
Actually I never watch Star Wars and not interested in it anyway, but I choose a Yoda card as my avatar in honor of our great friend bobbym who has passed away.
May his adventurous soul rest in peace at heaven.
