I'm interested, how else would you find the solution besides plugging in a guess and adjusting up or down until it works?
I think it'd have multiple solutions so it'd just be an algebraic formula right?
x.(y-5) = 2(y.x)
solve for x, plot graph, pick positions where both x and y stop at the hundredths column.
been a minute since over had to think about this stuff so maybe did that wrong lol
Yeah, it's been too long for me too. I came up with the same first formula, was looking at it not really wanting to solve for X or try to find my graphing calculator when I realized it still wouldn't land just on appropriate solutions, and wondered if there was a better way. But once it is graphed, yeah, finding where the solutions don't go past the hundredths column works.
Your response also made me think of looking for a graphing calculator app again. I did once a frightening number of years ago and didn't find much and I never thought of it again, haha!
