    I have an algebra problem which is giving me headaches. If you're interested in showing me what to do, consider the lower case t and t+1, and the 0, to be subscripts.

    Lt = St
    Lt = Kt+1 - Kt
    St = s * Yt
    Kt = k * Yt

    K0 = 200, s = 0.3, k = 2

    Prove that Kt+1 = 1.15 * K

    Thanks.

    Man... fuck you... does this look like a fuckin mathematics forum? We're a bunch of wankers and gamers, not some damnable mathemeticians! Go shake your dick at the math.com website, and enjoy the pleasure those cock loving neophytes will give you!

    Rewrite, please, this problem in more comprehensible for me form. In this form I don't even know, what is this, but t and t+1 makes me think it's progression.

    Let's just conclude that math isn't anything for terra-arcanum, shall we?

    Well, this problem is solvable if author have not used programming language, but you're right, it must be asked on math forum.

    The K0 apparently means nothing as there is no K0 in any of the equations you've given.

    Use equtions 1 and 2 to say that: St = Kt+1 - Kt

    Then use that and equation 3 to say that: s * Yt = Kt+1 - Kt

    s = .03 means that .3Yt = Kt+1 - Kt

    Use the last equation and substitute out Kt: .3Yt = Kt+1 - kYt

    We know k = 2 so: .3 Yt = Kt+1 - 2Yt

    Add 2Yt to both sides, negating it on one side: 2.3Yt = Kt+1

    If Kt = 2Yt then Yt = .5Kt

    Subtitute into the equation for the final: 2.3 * .5Kt = Kt+1

    Or 1.15Kt = Kt+1

    And what bitches.

    I demand 5% tribute from all possessed asses. I may make an exception in exchange for tapping rights, but that's on an individual basis.

    You want 5% of my ass? You're sicker than I thought.

    Well, Wolfsie, at least you get to choose which 5% you want to give Blinky.

    Actually, I think that secondary language beats math in boringness and uselessness. I hate German, and I hate Spanish (no offence guys, it's just the languages, or probably my teachers (yes, my teachers) that I hate.)
