Re: math

Yes.

Here is the answer.

Mathematics is a field of study that requires practice to master. Normally your teacher will demonstrate for you the skill required and the reasoning, and then you will be required to work through the problems with different variables. In this way you learn to reason and apply things by analogy. These are useful skills in life, and they will serve you well if you apply them.

While solving these would be a piece of cake for me, solving them for you wouldn't do you any good, would it? In fact, I'd be injuring your if I answered these, because that would deprive you of the opportunity to learn from them.

So let me give you another piece of advice acquired in the long road of painful experience. There are no shortcuts in life. People who take shortcuts on things like this wind up lost later on, for example, when they have to take the unit final examination, because they don't have the wisdom gained from painful practice and experience.

And in the event you think I'm just avoiding the issue... the second equation... R=29
