"Starting with three, every consecutive line has 2 less than twice the previous line."
this statement means that
your staring line has 3 marbles. You multiply the 3 marblesby 2 so
3x2=6
And then you minus it by 2
6-2=4
which means that you'll get 4 marbles for the next line.
So to get your 6th line, you count how many marbles is on the 5th line but since your diagram doesn't have the 5th line you have to figure out the 5th line by counting how.many marbles is on the 4th line.
4th line = 10 marbles
10×2=20
20-2=18
5th line = 18
18×2=36
36-2=34
So the 6th line has 34 marbles.
To solve first move the 98 to the other side by subtracting it from both sides. Then divide by - 1 on both sides to that the x^2 is no longer a negative. You are left with:
Now square root both sides to get
The two factors that make up 98 are 49 and 2. 49 can be square rooted. So we are left with these answers:
and
Well, to calculate that, you have to multiply the number of bats by the "number" version of 31.5 %, which once you multiply them together, it comes out to be about 149 (148.995)
