I still don't know what number 4 refers to unless it is the waltons ...goodnight johnboy...but chet?

and number 5)  i thought tide since we were a colgate family!

NBC nightly news with David Brinkley and Chet Huntley

[sadunbar]

At the ripe age of 49 - two wrong...


(#5 and #11)

[Mr. We]

OK...

5 is placed to the right of two – digit number, forming a new three – digit number. The new number is 392 more than the original two-digit number. What was the original two-digit number?
 

For all the WTFs...

1.   xy5 - 392 = xy (1) so y=3 and (1) becomes x35 - 392 = x3 so x=4
and number is 43 --> 435 = 43+392


2.   If the original number has x as the tens digit and y as the ones digit (x and y are integers less than 10) then we can set up the equation:
100x + 10y + 5 = 10x + y + 392
90x + 9y = 387
9(10x+y) = 387
10x + y = 43 ==> x = 4, y = 3
the original number is 43, the new number is 435





3.   There is a lot easier way to think about these.... (for me anyhow). Ie. when you add a digit to the right, you're multiplying by ten (because you're shifting to the left) and adding the number....

So...
10x+5=x+392
9x=387
x=43. Done.

Damn,, I read the questions and answered them before I looked at the choices.

Ok, I'll give you a look into the future;

On their 50th anniversary, a wife found the negligee she wore on her
wedding night and put it on. She went to her husband, a retired MARINE,
and asked, 'Honey, do you remember this?'

He looked up from his newspaper and said; 'Yes dear, I do. You wore
that same negligee the night we were married'

She said, 'Yes, that's right. Do you remember what you said to me
that night?'

He nodded and said 'Yes dear, I said; Oh baby, I'm going to suck the
life out of those boobs and screw your brains out.'

She giggled and said; 'That's exactly what you said. So now it's
fifty years later, and I'm in the same negligee. What do you have to
say tonight?'

He looked her up and down and said; 'Mission Accomplished.'

You don't remember the 6:00 national news on NBC with Chet Huntley and David Brinkley? They ended each news with saying goodnight to each other.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huntley-Brinkley_Report
Of course many more people were watching the 6:00 news on CBS with Walter Cronkite, "and that's the way it was".

Bet you remember David Brinkley's daughter though. Cristy, she was quite a fox back then, remember her in the sports car in Vacation (the movie).

I got about half way through figuring it out,               and forgot the question
