Here yall go. Kurt was 1 year old when the family dog Jake was born. When Kurt was 8, he was twice as old as his little sister Katie. Their second dog, Kirby, was born when Katie was 2 years old. Now Katie is 2/3 the age of Kurt, and Kirby is 3 times as old as their cat Hunter.
How old are the kids, dogs, and cat now?

Kirt = X Kirt = 12, Katie = 8, Kirby = 6, Jake = 11, Hunter = 2 Jake = X-1 Katie = X-4 Kirby = (X-4)-2 Hunter = ((X-4)-2) /3 |

I can tell you the format you should use depending on who you are sending it to. Make sure you use an outline of the ideas you want communicated and divide them into subjects. I prefer to have one main point per letter with the main support subject that are factual. Then in the subjects I put the ideas I want communicated that go with the facts in a logical manner. The basic essay format is good. The intern can read the intro paragraph and know where it goes. There are some good techniques to persuade people's thoughts. I wrote a paper about Edgar Allen Poe and said that he was a comedian. His works were dark and morbid. But people read my paper and thought my silly interpretation of his work was correct. The point is to balance fact and opinion but also the opinions must be tied to fact. A well crafted letter should take time but it is very powerful.

Its just a paper for my english class at tech, it is a "literature review". Im planning on writin it kinda how you said, with just very little opinion. It basically suposed to be a review of the information available from peer reviewed sources (basically professional sources) to make the point you are trying to make. Lots of research and reading, I have a bagillion sources and around 200 pages I have printed off of research. I have been skimming through and highlighting for the past two days. Besides baseball and ETHD math problems, this paper is all I been doin this week haha!

149
If:
2 + 3 = 10 5=10
7 + 2 = 63 9=63
6 + 5 = 66 11=66
8 + 4 = 96 12=96
solve for 9+7= x
9=63
7 = 12-5 7 = 96-10 therefore 7 = 86
9 + 7 = 63 + 86
63 + 86 = 149
What about.... 9+7=16 11+5=16 also so... 66+10=76 So using that logic it could also be 76.  |

well on the top where it says 2+3=10 5=10
7+3=63 9=63
its simply using the rules of algebra therfore the 3 doesnt exist its just a use of an equation so your just doing 5x2 or 7x9... simple.

9+7=16 so 9x16=144 So the answer is 144 then This makes sense now!  |
