AI Thread Summary
To create a math problem based on the expression 10000-(2x300+4x700)÷2, consider a scenario where an individual starts with 10,000 units of currency. They purchase two items priced at 300 each and four items priced at 700 each. The problem can be framed as: "If you have 10,000 dollars and spend on two items costing 300 each and four items costing 700 each, how much money remains?" The solution involves calculating the total expenditure and subtracting it from the initial amount. This type of problem helps illustrate basic arithmetic operations in a real-world context.

So how can we form a math problem that involves this in it: [ 10000-(2×300+4×700)]÷2... I mean " Anna had 3 apples and John had 4 apples more than Anna " this type of problem, but this one has to be solved as above.

Suppose you have an amount of 10000 money in any given currency. If you buy 2 things whose each costs 300 and 4 things whose each costs 700, how much money still left in you?
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
