You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Don't be consfused with the letter i. Just replace i with number 1 and when you reach the final answer, replace 1 with the letter i and you will be done.
Do you understand what I mean?
You can replace the letter i with any number, letter or word.
As long as you remember to place i back in the answer.
Do you follow?
