24x - 2 + 3 = 67

Again, first add the numbers (-2) and 3 to simplify the left side:

24x + 1 = 67

Subtract 1 from both sides:

24x = 66

Divide by 24:

x = 2.75

Assuming the problem is as written:

4x - 22 + 3 = 67

(-22) + 3 = -19

4x - 19 = 67

Add 19 to both sides:

4x = 86

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 21.5

On this calculator, once you get a number you can press "Enter" again to get it in scientific notation.

It is an equation with one variable. If you are solving for v:

26=8+v

Subtract 8 from both sides:

18 = v

Assuming you mean 4* (4 + 1/3):

= 4* (12/3 + 1/3)

= 4 * 13/3

= $${\frac{{\mathtt{52}}}{{\mathtt{3}}}} = {\mathtt{17.333\: \!333\: \!333\: \!333\: \!333\: \!3}}$$

LOL!!!  Seems like we have all been enlightened!

CPhill's answer makes a lot more sense.

Clearly, Sir CPhill is well-educated in medieval languages:)

Is that from a fantasy book? In that case, "lays," similar to "Segoy," would most likely be words the author made up. Personally, I would ignore the word.

Thanks, CPhill:)

Yes, it was a 2-minute handiwork. Not too bad, but a bit crummy. Perhaps it should have been about cookies instead . . .

DS, if you still need help, message me any instructions and ideas you have so far on the poem project:)

Great poem, CPhill! It is quite "punny."

An acrostic poem has a word written vertically. Each of its letters starts a new line in the poem.

A quick example: CATS

Cunning

Affectionate

Terror of mice.

Seems like this will suffice.

*Please note: Above poem is not the best example. It simply claims to be a quick example.* :P
