a) Solve for $x$.
$$\frac{x+2018}{2019}=\frac{x+2019}{2018}$$
b) Solve for $x$. Give your answers in terms of $a$.
$$\frac{x+a}{a+1}=\frac{x+\left(a+1\right)}{a}$$
Solve for $x$.
$$1-\frac{1}{1-\frac{1}{1-x}}=n$$
Give your answer in terms of $n$.
There is a machine that wraps boxes. 0.5 seconds after the start button is pressed, a box is wrapped. Following that, 1 box is wrapped every 0.5 seconds. In addition, 6 seconds after the start button is pressed, 5 unwrapped boxes enter the machine. Following that, 5 unwrapped boxes enter the machine every 6 seconds. The machine automatically stops once there are no more boxes to wrap. If there are 800 unwrapped boxes in the machine to begin with, the machine will stop $\fbox{$\phantom{682.5}$}$ seconds after the start button is pressed.
$A$ is a 2-digit integer. If the ones digit and the tens digit of $A$ are interchanged, it becomes a 2-digit integer. If this new number is multiplied by $A$, it becomes a multiple of 12. How many possible numbers could $A$ be?
Sachiko leaves her house every morning to go to the train station by bicycle at the same time. If she travels at 16 km/h, she arrives at the station 15 minutes before the train leaves. If she travels at 9.6 km/h, she arrives at the station 15 minutes after the train leaves. What speed should she ride her bicycle at so she arrives at the station 10 minutes before the train leaves?
*Give your answer in km/h.
A store owner ordered 120 items which cost 200 yen each. He puts three items as one set, adds markup and tries to see each set for 1100 yen but he can’t sell them all. He then puts a 20% discount on the remaining sets and sells out. His profit was 5500 yen less than the profit he expected to make at the beginning.
