Answer for Day 19 Math Problem
There is no valid answer for the problem. 🎯😆
Solution
The problem is about systems of linear equations in two variables in (elementary) algebra.
Let p = the number of participants
Let c = the number of community members
The given states that if a new participant enters the contest, the ratio of participants to members is 1:10, so the equation is (p + 1) * 10 = c * 1. Meanwhile, if a participant leaves the contest, the ratio of participants to members is 1:13, so the equation is (p - 1) * 13 = c * 1.
Equation 1: (p + 1) * 10 = c * 1
Equation 2: (p - 1) * 13 = c * 1
Simplifying Equations 1 and 2, we get
Equation 3: 10p + 10 = c
Equation 4: 13p - 13 = c
Using the Transitive Property of Equality that c = c, we can combine Equations 3 and 4.
10p + 10 = 13p - 13
-3p = -23
p = 23/3 or 7.67
Since there is no such thing as "23/3 or 7.67 participants", there is no valid answer for the original problem.
