    Can anyone help me on some Algebra?
    It's been a decade since I took my last Algebra class and I'm stuck on an equation. I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I'm trying to solve for M....

    M=(H+E)+((M*J)/100)

    M = 100(H+E) / (100-J)

        Heh. Any chance you or someone else could help me with another? Solving for M again....

        M=(H+E)-(M/.01W)

          Thank God I am way past the Algebra stage of my life. I had to retake Calculus TWICE in college.

            It's been awhile but I'm pretty sure this is correct.


            M= W(H+E)/(W+100)


            Hope that helps.

              Thanks for the try EB but it doesn't seem to be correct.

                If the original equation is to be interpreted as M=(H+E)-(M/(.01W))then EBone's solution is correct.

                If, however, you had actually meant for the original equation to be interpreted as M=(H+E)-(M/.01)*W, then the solution would be M=(E+H)/(100W+1)

                    any of you math geniuses can solve this problem?



                    i think there is a million dollar prize if you do it.

                      This is a complete list of all seven Millennium Prize Problems.

                      Solving any one of them will win you $1 Million.

                        Why aren't you on the list of winners yet?

                          There is no list of winners.

                          No one has solved any of the seven Millennium Problems.
