[QUOTE="SeniorGeek, post: 175844, member: 4823"] Good leadership requires more than the ability to perform parlor tricks with Algebra. I have been helping a 16 year old with Algebra homework all this school year, so I thought this was a story problem.... p = telephone prefix (not area code) x = last four digits of telephone number (((80p + 1) 250) + 2x - 250)/2 = (20,000p + 250 + 2x - 250)/2 = 10,000p + x + 125 - 125 = 10,000p + x For my phone number, um, 555-1234, this would be 5,550,000 + 1234 = 5,551,234. Sorry. [/QUOTE]
