Well, /b/?

$1.5, are you fucking stupid?

>>719979775
$2 idiot

It would become an infinite number

1 -> 1.50 -> 3 -> etc...

x = (1/2)x + 1 cannot be solved for x

>>719979848
>>719979853
> being this stupid

or maybe I am just
> being this baited

Would the price just keep rising indefinitely since the game is $1 plus half of it's price so the total $1.50 but then it would be half of that price and so on?

for anyone who can't figure out that it's 2

>>719979853
1.50 + .75 = 3? Where in the dick...

>>719979853
It would be:

>1
>1.50
>2.25
>3.375
And so on.

Now i understand why I have a good job and everybody else my age is just shitting out babies.

if you want to be a smart ass fag, "its"* for possessive, "it's" for the contraction of "it is" lmao

x= 1/2(x)+1
x - 1/2 (x) = 1
1/2 x = 1
x = 2

>>719979775

Easy, $2

>>719979870
X=2.
2=(1/2)2+1

>>719979870

this. it's unsolvable.

>>719979775
Missing information. No answer possible.

>>719979870
Solved.
>>719980117

>>719979870
Yes it is.
subtract (1/2)x on both sides. Then multiply by 2.

>>719980119
Really? Substract x/2 from both sides and you have
X/2 = 1, multiply both sides by 2 and you have
X = 2

For everyone saying that its not solvable. I don't think you do better maths than fucking Wolfram Alpha

ok i don't care how much you make fun of me but can someone explain in retard-language why it's 2 and not 1.50? please senpai <3 <3

>>719979775
Two fucking dollars, fucknuts. 1 + (0.5x) = x

Is there some reason $1 is not being used as price of game

>>719979775
x = 0.5y + 1
Not enough information to solve it.

>>719980371
because a game that costs two dollars also costs 1 dollar plus half of its price (the price which we established is two dollars)

>>719980444
why are you using 0.5y?
use 0.5x
let x be the price of the game.

x = 0.5x + 1

>>719980465
OH FUCK. and i always thought i was better at word problems than other math. thanks anon!

>>719980361
but wolfram alpha was developed by jews, so it's suspect

Walk the dinosaur cause this is a story all about how the numbers got flip turned upside down, and I'd like to take a minute to just sit right here and call you all faggots. Real dumb faggots. OP IS the biggest faggot. You can all line up and try to suck oats, right from the tip of my cock. This is Cancer. The answer is 1$+1/2(.50)=1.50+tax. Cunt

ITT, people not realizing the formula should actually be 1 + .5x = y

all of u should consider suicide

The trickery is in the imprecise nature of language. There are no quotes in the properly written question, but what we've got here is the use mention distinction where the game's cost is equivalent to half itself plus one, hence two.

>>719980444
y=x=price of the game. Nice trips

>>719980631
>u
Likewise, buddy.

>>719980371
Given: game costs 1 dollar plus half its price.

You don't even have to do algebra to solve the problem. You know that if you subtract $1 from the price of the game, you are left with one half of its cost. Therefore $1 must also be one half of its cost. Thus the answer is $2

>>719980613
why should it be that? The answer is it shouldn't. There is only one variable that needs to be solved for here and it's the price of the game. Why would you put a "y" in there

31 if its an xbox or ps4 game, 21 if its a 3ds

>>719979775
Cannot be answered, to little information

>>719980697
Yeah I am surprised I let the wording get the better of me. Thanks!

>>719980662
if i would have time to write 2 more digits to retards with 63 IQ, i would have so much free time that i would even consider that suicide m8.

>>719980613
here your second equation to solve the system
y=x

>>719980810
lol

>>719980301
It's already been taken
look at this shitshow of a thread
>ITT: i did highschool maths therefore i am a smart
fucking undergrads.

Probably a shit game with lots of in-game purchasing...

Why is math the greatest bait and how come no body thought of this shit sooner?

>>719981027
you have to come up with a math problem where about 50% of the population is too retarded to answer it correctly. looks like this one hit the sweet spot

X=1+0.5x | -0.5x
0.5x=1 | ×2
X=2
Are u fucking stupid?

Your life ain't shit

Itt : trolls, retards who think shitposters are actually failing a centuries-old quiz

game = 1
game = game + game / 2
print(game)
>>>1.5

>>719979775
Well... If 1 dollar is half its price. The full price would be 1x2=2 dollars

X= games price
X= 1+(X/2) |*2
2X= 2+X |-X
X=2
obviously

Video games haven't been around for that long

>>719981027
I've been here for quite some time and I have seen a huge amount of math bait threads in my time. There were enough people having the idea of "math trolling" way before you realized it is fun.
