    1. Hi,

      everything is great at home,
      I did not mean to tease you at all, but hope to entertain some math fans…

      cheers, thank you for the kind comment, 😉

    1. Sorry, Jessie,

      find m=
      n=
      as given in the formula,
      then find m+1=
      the last part is to computer what you get from m+1 and multiple this number three times, then you get the result…

      * is not times in math here, it stands for an operation, thus you only follow the rule on the right hand side of the equation…

      Thank you for stopping by, hope that you get it by now.

    1. Wow,

      Brave, Dusty.
      I admire your nerve to try it and actually make announcement about it.
      It does not matter what is your answer, it is your willingness to learn, your positive attitude, and your pleasant charater that matter to me.

      100% beautiful comment on math. 😉
