    1. ^Ignore the one at the top.

      -NEW ONE-
      Mr. Jobe works at a construction site in Gangnam. One day, his boss told him to measure the dimensions of the base of the original building before they started constructing. Then, he was told to plot the points to decrease each side by 12m, so a little candy shop could take place. He went back to his boss and told him the dimensions, and went to a coffee shop to take a break. However, after 3 hours, his boss called him to come back. He had lost the sheet with the original dimensions written on it. Luckily, they knew the plotted dimensions. What were the original dimensions?

      (x-12)squared

      ^^ Ignore that one as well.

      -NEWER NEW ONE-

      Lil’ Mr. Jobe(a baseball player) is playing with his ball on his roof. He suddenly had an idea to throw his ball up straight into the air on the edge of the roof. He threw the ball straight up into the air with his arms stretched out over the railings and from where he threw it and the highest point of the throw, the wind was going against the ball’s speed and it took 2 seconds. From where the ball started dropping and the ground, the wind was pushing with the ball and it took 6 seconds. The total distance the ball had moved was 232 meters. What would be the rate of the ball is there was absolutely no air pushing against or with the ball?(The wind is constantly blowing 4m/sec downwards. The ball is moving straight up and down landing at a 90° angle with the ground.)

      2(r-4)+6(r+4)=232

The number of packs of candy each participant received was three less than the number of participants. How many students participated?

    Two best friends named Clare and Helen earned same amount of money to spend on school supplies after doing chores for their neighbors. Clare and Helen had math classes together and for electives, Clare took art and Helen took French. Clare and Helen first bought some amount of pens for math class, but Clare needed to buy her classmate too, so she bought twice as much as Helen. After, Clare bought the same amount pens as Helen for art which costed 4 dollars each. Helen bought the same amount of pens for French Class which costed $3 each. Then, Helen did extra chores and earned 12 dollars. The amount of pens Clare and Helen bought for each class was same. If they had the same amount of money to spend on pens, what was the amount of pens Helen bought for math?

    Snoopy the dog wanted a big surprise cake for Charlie's birthday. He decided that the best and unique cake would be a brownie cake made of smaller, square brownies. After getting all the brownies, he made a square cake in which each row and column had x amount of brownies. Snoopy added whip cream as a border of the brownie cake afterwards, covering one brownie. There was only one layer of brownies for the cake. The total number of brownies used for the cake was 36. How many brownies (including the border) were in one row or column in the cake?

  4. David baked cookies. He put cookie dough in the oven in certain amount of rows and columns. The number of the rows and columns were the same. Then he ate 2 rows of cookies and put 3 more columns of cookie dough in the oven. After he counted how much he had, he had 64 cookies. How many cookies were in the oven first?

    Answer: (x-2)(x+3) = 64

    Jennifer and Jadyn were two friends who got a job at the “Mr. Jobe’s Pie Shop”.

    Mr. Jobe was a busy man because he worked as a middle school math teacher at KIS, and also was the CEO of an international snack franchise.

    On Jennifer and Jaydn’s first day working at Mr. Jobe’s Pie Shop, Tom Lee’s mom came to the store to order a certain amount of pies as a snack she planned to give to Mr. Jobe’s 8D block.

    When she ordered, she discovered that the cost of each pie equals to the same number of pies she ordered.

    She found out that the pies were really really cheap, and Toms mom came back and bought 8 more for the class.

    At the end of the whole order, Toms mom ended to spending $20 for her son’s classmates so that they all wouldn’t be hungry after school.

    Clare and Helen went to the swimming pool. They came from the ISSA, International Secret Swimming Association to see the swimming pools all over the world. There was a rumor that the water terrorists were coming to South Korea to put a water-proof bomb in swimming pools so they needed to investigate the pools. Their association made special defense systems and needed to figure out the area of the swimming pools. There were 2 pools, and one smaller than the other. The small pool was a square and the big pool was rectangular. They asked the workers there and they told us that they weren’t sure about the area but they knew that the bigger pool’s area was 284m larger than the small pool. The length of the big pool was 16m longer than the small pool, and the width was 11m wider than the small pool. What are the dimensions for both pools?

    Clare and Helen went to the swimming pool. They came from the ISSA, International Secret Swimming Association to see the swimming pools all over the world. There was a rumor that the water terrorists were coming to the South Korean Olympic Pool to put a water-proof bomb in swimming pools so they needed to investigate the pools. Their association made special defense systems and needed to figure out the area of the swimming pools. There were 2 pools, and one smaller than the other. The small pool was a square and the big pool was rectangular. In the Olympic Pool, the dimensions of the pool have to be at least greater than 10m. They asked the workers there and they told us that they didn’t know the area but they knew that the bigger pool’s area was 284m² larger than the small pool. The workers also said that the area of the bigger pool was 176m² more than 21 times the length of the small pool. What are the dimensions for both pools?
