N = ((n-1) + 4) + 4, to my understanding.
although your answers seem right written in the columns, but your method of applying numbers to equation seems incorrect in 'expand' column. for example, answer for 3 should be something like this...
3 21 17+4
4 25 21+4
hope it helps.
Break down the words into an equation:
(x+7)/(x+3) + (x-4)/3
Since p^2=p*p,
(p*p)^5 = p*p * p*p * p*p * p*p * p*p = p^10
As an expression, this is:
222c - 15 = c
If you want to solve it, add 15 to each side to get:
222c = c + 15
Subtract c from each side:
221c = 15
Divide each side by 221:
c ≈ 0.0678733
Hope this helps!
