The other AWD vehicles i have owned are a 2006 Rav 4 and a 2008 Volvo S40 T5. Both where nice, but as far as performance on snow and ice they where not as good as the suby. Suby's are a bit rough in the luxury department, but they make up for it in safety and handling in snowy and icy...

I am on my 5th suby. I have had very few issues, and no major mechanical issues with any of them. Here in the mountains of Colorado there pretty much standard equipment. I have owned other AWD vehicles and they do not compare to the good ole suby in adverse weather conditions. My 2009 forester...

I love this website. http://www.thinkgeek.com/

You know, i don't have a favorit person, i search the problem that i am working on. Like "complex polynomial factoring" or "difference of cubes" etc. then i watch several of the videos to see how they differ and to reinforce the idea. If there is someone that i particularly like, i will go to...

you can email me, i would be happy to go over stuff through gmail chat. Otherwise like i said earlier, i am a big fan of you tube videos, lots of different perspectives and approaches to problem solving.

read towards the bottom of the first page, he changed it after he realized it really was -144.

Just simple order of operations solves this one. At least the way i see it.

im not sure why you would. the two multiplication problems on the left side are separated by addition.

the left side is (144*15.71)+(y*-6.28) The right side is (144*y*14.05)

he changed it to this towards the bottom of the first page. 144 * 15.71 + y * -6.28 = (144 * y) 14.05 the original problem had a solution of -144.

there is not addition within the parenthesis, that's multiplication. The left side was solved with order of operations. i could be wrong but that's what i get.

2262.24+-6.28y=2023.20y -2023.20y-6.28y=-2262.24 -2029.48y=2262.24 y=1.114 i think you got your distribution wrong.. i did not distribute anything. lets restate the problem for others to see. 144 * 15.71 + y * -6.28 = (144 * y) 14.05

and to the OP, i find algebra best learned at home. I go to the lectures, take notes, then go home and research videos on you tube. Its amazing how many ways you can solve problems, the videos show lots of methods, and i apply the one that best fits my style. I also tutor other students in the...

I don't know.. i did not have a problem solving it, and I am just a regular old algebra student. Is combining the terms supposed to be the tricky part? once the problem is combined its pretty strait forward, even for me. The coolest thing about this thread though.. is the link to that...
