Hi;
14) Is incorrect.
15) Is correct.

Second step.
Supposed to be written as:

Line #3 is fine:

1x+34=30
-34+34+1x=30+-34
1x=-4
x=-4

Re: Review
Then everything is fine! 14 is done and 15 is done. Now, unless I am wrong, 15 is the highest number in the universe. Therefore you are done with problems!

Re: Review
5 more! But that would mean that there is a number called 20. That is fantastic! It is too hard to believe. I always assumed 15 was the largest number.

Because I have never seen a number bigger than 15. I currently have 13 dollars in my checking account. I thought I was rich!

hi zee-f and bobbym,
5 more! But that would mean that there is a number called 20. That is fantastic! It is too hard to believe. I always assumed 15 was the largest number.
If you thought 15 was the biggest, how come you knew the symbol(s) for 20?
I think I have exposed a flaw in your logic.
Anyway, I think you'll find that George Gamow was correct in stating that the numbering goes:
ONE, TWO, THREE, INFINITY.

Re: Review
Well, actually I did know about 20. I was kidding zee-f. I even know about a number called 30. Of course I have never seen it but I believe it will be discovered in 2012.

Re: Review
hi bobbym
So let me get this straight. You know there's a number called 30 and it will (future tense) be discovered next year. Do you have access to a time machine?
I currently have 13 dollars in my checking account. I thought I was rich!
Don't worry. You are rich. Because you have lots of friends. And that makes you very rich!
