#

ok

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 12:52 PM

#

ok

#

what did you do so far

#

@analog slate

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 1:37 PM

#

fiery terrace what did you do so far

so i did this

#

n(n+1)/2

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 1:38 PM

#

Ok

#

So how many terms are there

#

Like different numbers

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 1:38 PM

#

8 ig

#

or 7

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 1:38 PM

#

No

#

8(9)/2 is not 105

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 1:39 PM

#

wait

#

let me check

#

14?

#

yea

#

14 it is

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 1:40 PM

#

Mhm

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 1:40 PM

#

@fiery terrace

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 1:40 PM

#

So how many numbers less than 14 are divisible by 3

#

That are positive

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 1:40 PM

#

4

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 1:41 PM

#

Ok

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 1:41 PM

#

3,6,9,12

#

u r slow

#

fr

#

🐢

#

hello?

#

ok

#

dead?

#

hmm

#

ig

#

u r

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 1:42 PM

#

So for the nth term there will be n numbers for that term

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 1:42 PM

#

yeas

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 1:43 PM

#

Therefore just add them

#

?

#

I’m traveling through like tree zone rn

#

how about this one

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 1:50 PM

#

I would suggest eliminating 2 blocks of carriages at the end

#

Which means 700 - 398

#

So now you have 302 passengers and 8 carriages

#

Try to work from there

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 1:51 PM

#

so some carriages will have 38 and some will have 39

#

answer is 77?

#

@fiery terrace

analog slate Help anyone? <:despair:923929965781721098>

The ans for this one is 45

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 2:29 PM

#

wispy prairie The ans for this one is 45

no?

wispy prairie Jun 23, 2023, 2:30 PM

#

fiery terrace no?

Oh , lemme try again

wispy prairie Jun 23, 2023, 2:37 PM

#

fiery terrace no?

Bro it's 45

#

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 2:39 PM

#

there is no 15

#

check the sum

wispy prairie Jun 23, 2023, 2:39 PM

#

Okay wait

wispy prairie Jun 23, 2023, 2:40 PM

#

fiery terrace there is no 15

Oh shoot my bad

#

It only upto 14

#

Thanks man

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 2:40 PM

#

yea

#

make sure to not only give answer

wispy prairie Jun 23, 2023, 2:40 PM

#

So the ans is 30

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 2:41 PM

#

he already got it

#

he just disappeared for this question

wispy prairie Jun 23, 2023, 2:41 PM

#

fiery terrace make sure to not only give answer

I was solving questions here for fun actually

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 2:41 PM

#

but they need to know how to do it

#

the point of helping them is to make sure they dont ask the same kinds of questions again

#

you can solve it

wispy prairie Jun 23, 2023, 2:42 PM

#

Um so should I explain

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 2:42 PM

#

but dont tell answer

#

if you want to

#

either solve the problem by yourself

#

or actually help them

wispy prairie Jun 23, 2023, 2:42 PM

#

Okay

#

Understood

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 4:42 PM

#

fiery terrace I got something else

what is that

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 4:49 PM

#

you still here?

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 4:49 PM

#

fiery terrace you still here?

yess

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 4:49 PM

#

ok

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 4:49 PM

#

so

#

there is another question

#

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 4:50 PM

#

how did you arrive at 77

#

thats wrong

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 4:50 PM

#

but

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 4:50 PM

#

fiery terrace how did you arrive at 77

rough work

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 4:50 PM

#

can i see?

#

or do you just want to know

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 4:50 PM

#

i am on laptop

#

idh phone

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 4:50 PM

#

how I did it

#

ok

#

so we have 8 carriages left

#

and 302 people

#

lets call the outer 3 carriages on each side x

#

and the middle two a + b

#

so we know a + b + 2x = 302

#

do you follow?

#

hello

#

do you want me to write it out on paper?

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 4:56 PM

#

brpo

#

my internet

#

😭

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 4:57 PM

#

fiery terrace so we have 8 carriages left

how come

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 4:57 PM

#

since we eliminate 5 on either side

#

18 - 5(2)

#

= 8

#

that eliminates 199(2) = 398 people

#

so we have 8 carriages and 700 - 398

#

= 302 people left

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 4:57 PM

#

302

#

yea

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 4:57 PM

#

ok

#

so we know any 5 add to 199

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 4:58 PM

#

fiery terrace so we know a + b + 2x = 302

hmm

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 4:58 PM

#

yea

#

i called the side three carraiges on either side x

#

and the middle lets just call a

#

so a + 2x = 302

#

follow?

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 4:59 PM

#

yes

#

i am writing it

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 5:00 PM

#

fiery terrace so a + 2x = 302

there r 2 middle carriages

#

so there should be another variable

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 5:00 PM

#

i combined and called them a

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 5:01 PM

#

oh

#

is it possible?

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 5:01 PM

#

beacuse we are looked for both of them combined

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 5:01 PM

#

ohh

#

right

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 5:01 PM

#

not each one singularly

#

ok

#

so we know the left 5 carriages

#

are composed of the left 3 + middle 2

#

so x + a

#

and the right 5 are composed of right 3 + middle 2

#

so also x + a

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 5:02 PM

#

wait

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 5:03 PM

#

fiery terrace so we know the left 5 carriages

how come

#

6 carriages?

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 5:03 PM

#

wdym

#

we have 8

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 5:03 PM

#

2 in the middle

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 5:03 PM

#

the 5 left most will be

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 5:03 PM

#

and 3 in each side

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 5:03 PM

#

the 3 in the side and the 2 in the middle

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 5:04 PM

#

i am not following

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 5:04 PM

#

ok wait

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 5:06 PM

#

i am

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 5:07 PM

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 5:09 PM

thats what i was saying

#

fiery terrace ?

i am now

#

whats next?

fiery terrace Jun 23, 2023, 5:10 PM

#

so now we know

#

that any 5 add to 199

#

so a + x + a + x = 199(2)

#

and we also have a + 2x = 302

#

just solve

analog slate Jun 23, 2023, 5:12 PM

#

answer is 96
