In your post, I see many question signs that have no any sense.
If you need help in solving Math problems, please post them to the forum as they are,
without your editing. Do not try to re-tell the problem in your own words,
since you can not do it adequately.
If you want to add your questions, or comments, or ideas,
place them SEPARATELY AFTER the problem's formulation.
