On the 4th stage, 81 friends will be called to be told of the news
8,516.90 has the greater value.
Normally You would need to simplify all of them, to see what their values are like.
Already from the start, however, we can see that 9n + 3 + 2 and 9n + 11 isnt the same value. Based on this, we should only need to simplify one of the other, to get either 9n + 5 or 9n + 11.
Lets pick the upper one.
(4n + 3) + 5n + 8 - 6
4n + 3 +5n + 2
9n + 5.
This indicated that 9n+11 is the odd one.
To make sure, we can solve the next one:
(4n + 5n) + (3 + 8 - 6)
9n + 5
Which indicated the same thing.
9n+11 is the "outsider", which means:
9n + 11 is the correct answer for this task.
The answer is 3.42 x 10^6 because we moved the decimal 6 places to the left. Hope this helps:)
