ANITBIOTICS

The admin messaged me. They said that now all new messages/questions are flagged for moderation, and within a few days, a volunteer-mod-person will check it and let the question through (something along the lines of that). Probably for safety and like making sure the question is ok

... *forgot about the moderation thing. my post is invisible for now.. hehe

who are the martians?

To Solve this question, we can use Stars and Bars.

In this one, we will be putting 7 bars down, and there are 10 "bars"

There are 11 ways to put the first "bar" down

There are 12 ways to put the second "bar" down

There are 13 ways to put the third "bar" down.

This pattern continues, so the total will be

11*12*13*14*15*16*17= 98017920 ways

Somebody and/or Question-Asker check this, because I'm not quite good at this type of math really.

I presume the boxes and inequalities look like such 

[ ] < [ ] > [ ] < [ ] > [ ]

We can set the inequality as

a < b > c < d > e

To solve the question, there are 2 cases:

case 1:

b=4 d=5 (or the other way around)

Then we can set a, c, and e, as any number (1, 2 or 3)

so for case 1 we have 2*3!=2*6=12

case 2:

b=5, a=4 (or on the other side, d=5, e=4)

In this case we know that d has to be 3, other wise the inequality won't *work*

we have two ways to put 1, and 2 into the equation, so 

For case 2, there are 2*2=4 ways

Add them together: 4+12=16

(wow this sounded a lot simpler in my head) Please confirm this

uh. Are there supposed to be numbers in the question?

To solve this question, it would probably be a good start to first get rid of the fractions. Why don't you multiply both sides by (x+2) and (x+4)

You would get an equation along the lines of

(2x)(x+4)=(-6)(x+2)

Why don't you try expanding that, and then finding x

(please some fancy math professional check this. this is my first time answering somebody's question)

lmao. i think i forgot to mention that you can basically move right down left, horizontally and stuff, but not jumping around.
