document.write( "Question 6263: hi...pls help me with this question...it looks really tricky if you cant i dnt blame you because know one know's how to do it!! this is really hard to explain. there is a pic of matches which make a box...the first box is made up of 6 matches the second box is made up of 10 matches but has a line down the middle and the third box is made up of 14 matches and has 2 lines down the middle. then the questions say: write in words 2 rules that tell you how many matches are needed for each number of letters....then the other question says: write both rules in C in symbols uising m for the number of matches and n for the number of letters. sorry i havent explained that very well :( \n" ); document.write( "

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
try drawing a picture,i am trying to understand your question.

\n" ); document.write( "First box:(6)
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( " _\r\n" );
document.write( "| |\r\n" );
document.write( "| |\r\n" );
document.write( " -\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Is that how it looks...?
\n" ); document.write( "


\n" ); document.write( "Second box:(10 with a line)
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( " _ _\r\n" );
document.write( "| | |\r\n" );
document.write( "| | |\r\n" );
document.write( " - -\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Is that how the second box looks...?
\n" ); document.write( "


\n" ); document.write( "Third box:(14 and 2 lines)
\n" ); document.write( "

document.write( " - - -\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "

Also,what do you mean 'letters'? I understand m for matches...what do you mean 'letters' in your question? Do you mean the boxes...?
