Jason: Need help with math? Paige: Please. I hate word problems more than anything. "Three oranges cost half of what nine apples cost. If one orange and one apple together cost 30 cents, how much does one orange cost?" Jason: Easy. Two dollars. Paige: Wouldn't the orange have to cost less than 30 cents? Jason: No, no - two dollars is what the answer will cost. Paige: I guess I do hate some things more than word problems.

3o=9a/26o=9a…
6o-9a=0
o+a=30
a=30-o
6o-9(30-o)=06o+9o-270=0
15o=270
o=18…
18+a=30a=30-18a=12…
