Yes, it would be 1,600. Would you be able to solve something like this?

(4(x + 5))/6 = 20

25 right? I was a little confused on how to do it though. Do you think you could explain it step by step?

Yep. Step by step:

(4(x + 5))/6 = 20
6((4(x + 5))/6)  = 20(6)      Multiply both sides by 6.
4(x + 5) = 120                 Simplify.
4(x) + 4(5) = 120              Distribute the 4 to both addends within the parentheses.
4x + 20 = 120                  Simplify.
4x + 20 - 20 = 120 - 20      Subtract 20 from both sides.
4x = 100                        Simplify.
4x/4 = 100/4                  Divide both sides by 4.
x = 25                           Simplify.

*Yawn* I'd love to stay up some more and discuss math, but I really have to go to bed. 'Night.  sad

Re: Lets see who knows this kind of math...

Here's a word problem for ya (if you've seen it before don't give it away, por favor):

There are 1000 shut doors in a really long hall and 1000 kids in a line. The first kid goes by and opens every door. The 2nd kid closes every other door (door 2,4,6, etc.) The 3rd kid goes to every 3rd door (3, 6, 9...) and  closes the ones that are open and opens the ones that are closed.The 4th kid goes to every 4th door and does the same. You get the point.  tongue   This continues until every kid has gone. When it's all over, what doors are open?

Note: This is not one of the trick question word problems, so don't get too clever. (For instance the answer is not "None- the wind blew them shut.")

Note #2: The math here doesn't have to be too complex. I did it before I had any algebra. 

Note #3: If you Google (or Bing or Yahoo or whatever) this problem, don't say anything.

No actually, I was not thinking of that and 3+0 does not equal thirty. Maybe on another planet like Derp but not on Earth.

I got that the open doors were the squares of the numbers 1-31. (So 1, 4, 9, 16, and so on.)
