The answer is
-15See the attached image for the steps on how I got that answer.
Let m = 10 and n = 2
We know:
y^2 = (m+n).m
y^2 = (10+2).10
y^2 = 120
y = √(120)
Then,
m^2 + x^2 = y^2
10^2 + x^2 = ( √( 120) )^2
100 + x^2 = 120
x^2 = 120 - 100
x^2 = 20
x = √(20)
x = √(4×5)
x = √(4) × √(5)
x = 2√(5)
I hope this has helped!
I mean, you can divide the counters by the range 2 - 38.
I only managed to find out that 38 ÷ 2 = 19.
And 38 ÷ 19 = 2.
It says that there are more than 10 counters in each bag.
So 2 bags is the most liable option.
There are 2 bags and 19 counters in each bag.
Can't help without a pic or a problem to solve. sorry.
3 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 / 2 x 2 x 2
48 / 2 x 4
[48 can be simplified to 24 x 2 and 4 can be simplified to 2 x 2]
24 x 2 / 2 x 2 x 2
[24 can be simplified to 12 x 2]
12 x 2 x 2 / 2 x 2 x 2
[12 can be simplified to 6 x 2]
6 x 2 x 2 x 2 / 2 x 2 x 2
[6 can be simplified to 3 x 2]
3 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 / 2 x 2 x 2
