This shit again?
>1 + .5x = y

1 + price/2 = price
(2+price)/2 = price
2+price = 2*price
2*price - price = 2
price = 2

X = Game's Price
X = 1 + 1/2X
1/2X = 1
x = 2

Let x be the game's price:

x = x/2 + 1

Solution:

subtract x/2 from both sides
x - x/2 = 1

multiply both sides by 2
2x - x = 2

divide both sides by x
2 - 1 = 2/x

perform subtraction
1 = 2/x

multiply both sides by 2
2 = x

>>677359931
You said it's 1.5

So input 1.5 into the equation.

Half of 1.5$ plus 1 $. That's 0.75+1 and that's 1.75$. I proved by contradiction that your answer is incrorrect.

>>677360510

You made it complicated as fuck.

Also why use math at all?

1$ + a half = a full.

What do you need to add to a half to get a full? Correct, a half. So 1$=a half. 2$=a full.

It's one of the first things you learn in higher math

its price=x

the equation is 1 plus half its price.

1+.5x=x

.5x=x-1

2 is the only solution that fits this equation.

>>677360169
but it isn't just 1, it's 1 plus half

>>677358694
"it's" is not just a compression of "it is". "it's" can also be used possessively e.g. "A girl's vagina"

In this case the "it's" indicates that the price belongs to the game. It makes perfect sense.

/thread

>>677361237

http://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/when-to-use-it's-vs-its

"This apostrophe form of the possessive remained extremely common throughout the 17th century. The version without the apostrophe only became dominant in the 18th century — probably because it's was taking on a new role, replacing the contraction 'tis. It's here had arrived and 'tis here was fading away.

We still see the possessive it's in dashed-off tweets and in flyers from local mattress stores, but the fact that it was right 300 years ago doesn't make it correct today. For those of us who live — and write — in the here and now, use it's only when you mean it is or it has. And drop that apostrophe everywhere else."

>doesn't make it correct today

Price = $1

Price + 1/2 price = cost

1$ + 0.5(1$) = cost

1$ + $0.5 = $1.50

And I'm not even good at math

>adding fuel to fire

guys, its basic algebra
some here gets it right

x = price

x = 1 + (x/2)
(mult everything by 2)

2x = 2 + x
(re arenge)

2x - x = 2
(subract)

x = 2

test it:

insert x = 2 into the first formula

2 = 1 + (2/1)

2 = 1 + 1

2 = 2

>>677361237
"Its" is the possessive form you fucking mongoloid. "It's" can only be a contraction of "it is"

There is no way of telling.

In order to reliably know what half the price is, you MUST know how much the game costs.

In order to answer the question, you MUST know what half the price is.

You need unknown data to answer this question.

No shit because you got the problem wrong. The value of the game doesn't change, your answer does. Also, it doesn't say the game costs $1, it's $1 plus half the cost. That means that you have the following equation: x = 1 + x/2, or x/2 = 1, x = $2. To check this plug it in. $2 = $1 + $2/2 = $1 + $1 = $2.

i used to fuck a math bitch in my Goliath suit.
she'd come over sometimes while her boyfriend was away after school.

once the door would close she'd almost instantly get naked. most times she'd put on her favorite song and start sucking. then she would cry. her tears and makeup would drip down her face onto my dick. its surprising how cold tears are. eventually i finally asked her what was wrong. in between licks she told me that her favorite song was also her bfs favorite song. so even though she loved hearing it and it totally got her pussy wet, it also made her think about the fact that she was cheating on her boyfriend. i dont think i ever came harder down somebodies throat then right after she told me that. she was beautiful. we dont hang out anymore. wanna get lunch?

It's a typo. It's not like it is versus its actually changes the meaning of the problem because it's doesn't make sense. Therefore (also because its vs. it's is a common mistake) it's reasonable to assume that its is mean. Either way, the price of the game is never $1.

Sure. Let me walk you through it.

It starts out at $1.50. Then, since it costs half its price more, it costs $2.25. Then, $3.38. Then, 5.07, and so on.

There's still a problem here. Yes, everyone can do math gooder.

The problem is: comprehension skills.

Everyone who says $1.50, and everyone who immediately did math before thinking/reading the question over (and took a leap of faith and did bad math), read >>677361764 .

Or else, it's highly likely that the next cup of bleach you find sitting next to an unspecified amount of ammonia could kill you.

>>677362652
Of course it's two.

I'll translate the OP

A game = 2 is
half it's price = half of two

It now says "2 is 1 plus half of two".

>>677362514

it is as they say, it's either intentional or unintentional misspelling, of you look past it, the math checks out.

however if you think the question disappears off you spell it wrong, thats up to you

>>677362492
Price and cost are two different things, anon. It's not x = 1 + x/2. It's x = 1 + y/2. You don't have enough information to solve for either variable.

its about three-fitty

Well a game costs a dollar plus half of its price. It also costs half of its price plus half of its price. So one dollar plus half of the price must be the same as half of the price plus half of the price. So one dollar must be the same as half of the price. So the price must be two dollars.

>>677363062
The math does not work out, actually. Price and cost are two separate things. The equation isn't x = 1 + x/2, it's x = 1 + y/2. Cost is equal to $1 plus half of the price, not $1 plus half of the cost.

>>677362324
I'll explain this one more time

We are not finding x. We already know that x is the PRICE.

PRICE=x
COST=y

PRICE + PRICE/2= COST

x + x/2 = y

$1 + $1/2 = y

$1 + $0.50 = $1.50

>>677363097
OP can't spell "its", do you think he is taking the meaning of words into consideration?

>>677361237

>>677363388
Given that it's an image designed to incite the exact kind of retarded replies that have been given in this thread, yes absolutely OP was taking the meaning of the words into consideration. It's not like this is the first time this image has been posted here, and it certainly won't be the last.

Oh wait, you're right. After hitting myself in the head multiple times with a hammer I now understand what you're trying to explain.

>>677363359
What if i told you price=cost
so in your equation x=y
meaning your wrong

>>677363359
two sides have to equal each other right?
PRICE = COST
COST = 1 + PRICE/2
PRICE = 1 + PRICE/2
2PRICE = 2 + PRICE
2PRICE - PRICE = 2
PRICE = 2

>>677358427
Answer is 2

Proof:

Cost = Half the cost + 1

>Mathmatically

cost = (cost / 2) + 1

>Multiply both sides by 2

2 * cost = cost + 2

>Minus cost from both sides

cost = 2

>Now lets substitute 2 into the original equation to check we got it right

cost = (cost / 2) + 1

2 = (2 / 2) + 1 ** TRUE

Answer = 2

You could literally substitute $1 for any number and it wouldn't make sense. If you said a game costs $0 plus half of its price, that's like saying "a game costs half of its price", which makes no sense.

This is unsolvable.

>>677358427
We dont know its price.
Price and cost are different, rewrite and submit again

>>677363909
That's nice and all but no, cost and price are not the same thing. Not even a little.

>>677363938
You're a moron. Cost and price are two separate things. Cost = $1 plus Price/2. Or using variables, x = 1 + y/2.

>>677363359
Even if we differentiate between cost and price, your equation is wrong.

It's COST = 1$+PRICE/2

So it's not 2, assuming OP is actually defining COST!=Price, but it sure as also isn't 1.5
