		From Lauren: A crown holds a total of 3080 jewels. It is made up of diamonds and pearls. There are 10 times as many diamonds as there are pearls. How many pearls are there? Answered by Penny Nom.
	|x+3| = -15x		2003-07-19
		From Nathan: Without the use of trial and error, is there a way of solving for x where |x + 3| = -15x? I know that x = -0.1875, but how do I find whether x + 3 is positive or not if I did not have this information (In other words, how would I solve whether the x-value was -3 or less, or if it was more than -3)? Answered by Claude Tardif and Penny Nom.

		From Janea: What is the answer to 1. (n+17)(n+7)=0 What is the answer to:2. (y-15)(y-100)=0 Answered by Penny Nom.
	The substitution method		2001-03-05
		From A student: Solve each system of equations by the substitution method. Show your work. y = 8 7x = 1 - y y = x - 1 4x - y = 19 Answered by Penny Nom.
	Solving Equations		2001-02-23
		From Stephanie: Do you know who came up with solving equations? Do you have any web-sites that can give me good information on solving equations? Do you know any history on solving equations? Do you know what solving equations is used for? And finally............Sorry about all of the questions :) Has the form of solving equations changed from the time it came out to now?

	Multiple step problems		1999-11-09
		From Maria Rainsdon: I don't understand how to solve these multiple step problems. I wasn't there when my teacher explained it and I am really lost. Here is one of the probs I don't understand: 3m+6=-m-6. Answered by Penny Nom.
	Equations with fractions		1999-10-10
		From Lori: I'm a secondary student. How would you figure out a problem such as t-2/t =14/3t - 1/3. The book gave one example but it is really easy. The work YOU have to do is totally different. You don't have to tell me the answer just how to do such problems like these. Answered by Penny Nom.
	Intersecting Lines.		1998-02-10
		From Erik Heppler: My typewriter frequently makes mistakes. Suppose I gave you the following system of equations to solve: 35.26X + 14.95Y = 28.35 187.3X + 79.43Y = 83.29 When I looked back, I realized that I meant to use 14.96 as the "Y" coefficient in the first equation instead of 14.95. Solving the system using 14.95 and then solving another system using 14.96 with all other values the same both times results in the intersection points (1776, -4186) and (-770, 1816) respectively. How can that be? Answered by Penny nom.
