This is a simple equation:
x - 7 < 14
x < 14 + 7
x < 21
→ Many people think that because there is not "=" sign they don't flip the sign of what in this case is -7. But actually, the symbols "<" and ">" act as the equal sign. This rule doesn't apply to positive number, only negative.

We use the formula:
Total = Principal * e ^ (rate * years)
Total = 1,500 * e ^ (.03 * 15)
Total = 1,500 * e ^ .45
Total = 1,500 *

A) The first step needs 100 bricks, the second needs 98, the third needs 96, and so on. Therefore the number of bricks for the nth step is: a_n = a_1 + d(n-1), where a_1 = 100 (the first term), d = -2 (difference).
a_n = 100 - 2(n-1) = 102 - 2n, and for the 30th step, a_30 = 102 - 2*30 = 42. So the top step will need 42 bricks.
b) The total staircase will need: 100 + 98 + 96 + ... + 44 + 42, and there are n = 30 terms. Using the formula for the sum of an arithmetic sequence:
S = (a_1 + a_n)*n/2 = (100 + 42)*30/2 = 2130
Therefore, 2130 bricks are required to build the entire staircase.
Answer: the answer is 546
Step-by-step explanation: because 646 goes into 565 so 546 is the answer
