What does the problem ask for?
The value of 2*35.
The number of Modos and Hodos.
the number of Yodos.
The number of Yodos, Hodos and Modos.
The starting equation is then
Yodos + Hodos + Modos= 80.
Yodos + Hodos + Modos= Total_players.
Yodos + Hodos + 35 = 80
This equation first asks for information about Yodos.
A verbal response to this request contains ...
there are 35 Modos.
there are 30 Yodos.
there are twice as many Yodos as Hodos.
there are 80 players.
In equation form the response is...
Total_players = 80
Yodos = Hodos/2
Yodos = 2 Hodos
Yodos = 30
A verbal statement that responds to the
quantity currently asked for contains:
The next information needed concerns Modos.
There are 10 more Hodos than Modos.
There is no additional information about Hodos.
The number of Modos is 35.
The equation that corresponds to
this verbal statement is:
Hodos = Modos + 10
Modos = Hodos + 10
Hodos = 35
In equation form the response is then....
Modos = 25.
Modos = 35.
there is no information about Modos.
Modos = Hodos/2.
The next request by the superior equation concerns ...
Total_players .
Yodos.
Modos.
The superior equation makes no request.
In equation form the response is:
Total_players = 85.
Total_players = 80 .
Total_players = 78.
From the superior eqution we observe that ...
there are no more requests.
substitution is in order.
it is not possible to complete the solution.
The result of the substitution process is ...
3 Hodos + 30 = 80.
Hodos = 15.
2 Hodos + Hodos +35 = 80.
We can now solve for ...
Hodos.
Modos .
Yodos = 25.
Total_players = 50.
Solving for Hodos gives...
Hodos = 25.
Hodos = (80 - 35)/3.
Hodos = 80/3 - 35/3.
Hodos = 10.
We can now obtain Hodos.
A suitable verbal statement would contain:
Simplifying gives.
From which.
Therefore.
Any of the above.
The value of Hodos is then ...
Hodos = 30.
Hodos = 15.
Hodos = 35.
none of the above.
