Algebra HELP!!!! Tims tile trial

#1 03-19-2003, 12:24 AM

Tim and Al need your help. They made four blue square tiles having sides of distinct integer length (Al had explain to Tim what "distinct integer length" meant.) They then made 4 red square tiles, each having sides of integer length and each 900 square units more than its corresponding blue tile (i.e. the smallest red tile was 900 square units more than the smallest blue tile, etc) They noticed that twice a side of the second smallest blue tile was two more than a side of the second largest red tile. Likewise, three times a side of the smallest blue tile was two less than one side of the second smallest red tile, and three times a side of the second largest blue tile was ten less than a side of the largest red tile. Find the length(in units) of one side of each different tile (there are eight different tiles), so Tim and Al can keep their jobs!

After several hours of hard work, I have come to the conclusion that...

Al and Tim are going to lose their jobs.
Haha. I hope they can't find another job.

And 1 + 1 = 10

binary.
