Answer:
The 99th tower contains 9900 blocks.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given, we were told that the nth tower is formed by stacking n blocks on top of an n times n square of blocks. This implies that the number of blocks in n tower will be:
n + n²
Now let us use the diagram to validate the idea.
Tower 1:
n = 1
Number of blocks = 1 + 1² = 2
Tower 2:
Number of blocks = 2 + 2² = 6
Tower 3:
Number of blocks = 3 + 3² = 12
Using same idea, we can obtain the number of blocks in the 99th tower as follow:
Tower 99:
n = 99
Number of blocks = 99 + 99² = 9900
Therefore, the 99th tower contains 9900 blocks.

Answer:
you really did not give us the full pictuer
Step-by-step explanation:
Ron has 22 cards
number one tip in math, try to create equation!
set number of cards Ron has as x (always set x as what you are looking for)
set number of cards Tori has as (x-9) because if Ron has 9 more cards than Tori that's same thing as saying Tori has 9 cards less than Ron
Number of cards Tori and Ron has need to equal 35
Therefore,
x + (x-9) = 35
Solve:
2x-9=35
bring over 9 to other side
2x=44
divide both sides by 2
x=22
So number of cards Ron has is 22
