There are 3 rivers and after each river lies a grave. So there are 3 rivers and 3 graves. A man wants to leave the SAME amount o
f flowers at each grave, and be left with none at the end. What happens though is that each time he passes through one of the rivers the number of flowers he has doubles. So he has to start off with what number of flowers, taking into consideration that they double, so that he is left with no flowers whatsoever at the end?
I've had a problem similar to this before. He should start out with 0 flowers. He would have 2 flowers at the first one, so he would put one on the first grave then have one for the second. When he gets to the second, he puts down one flower and the last flower on the 3rd grave.
add 14.52 to both sides of the inequality to cancel that value out from the middle. Then you can divide both sides by 3x to get x by itself in the middle.
