Answer: x = (cd + by) / a
Working out:
(ax - by) / c = d
1)Multiply by c on both sides to get:
ax - by = cd
2) Add by on both sides to get:
ax = cd + by
3) divide by a on both sides to get:
x = (cd + by) / a
the answer is multiply the current term by 2 and add 1 to find the next term.
The way you typed it, it seems like you need to know the total number of beads, which would be 300
The letter C, because the pattern is this (I think):
Every two letters it states the vowels (a,e,i,o,u)
Then in between every two letters there starts a pattern of, saying the alphabet in order and saying the alphabet backwards.
In other words they merged these two lines:
A, B, C, D, E...
+
Z, Y, X, W, V...
=
A, Z, B, Y, C, X...etc.
then by adding this pattern of vowels you get:
A, Z, E, B, I, Y, O, (C), (U), (X)...
