my answer is n = ([-(d+2a) + or - ((d+2a)^2 - 4d(2a-2s))^1/2]/2d) + 1

Oh!
I doubt if anyone can solve thus in this forum not more than 2 people.

n2 = [2S + d-2a]/d
Or

n = [(2S + d-2a)/d] ^0.5

bravo...let me break ur heart

u actually want to use another approach but u miss some...I can see ur mistake

and this correct

n =+- [(2S + d-2a)/d] ^0.5

because n is a real number from must obey the both the - & + number line(abstract algebra or real analysis)
same as the almighty formula solution not to fail

I changed n- 1 to be C did some manipulation arranged in format of quadractic equation, used almighty formula then changed C back to n - 1, so to get n u have to add 1 to the other side of the equation

Either
n = [(d - 2a) + (4a^2 - 4ad + d^2 + 8ds)^(1/2) ] /2d
or
n= [(d - 2a) - (4a^2 -4ad + d^2 +8ds)^(1/2)] /2d

What can one do with this in real life?
Quite a lot.
1. In reinforced concrete design of structures, the derived equations from the rectangular-parabolic compressive stress block (assumed rectangular in the british code of practice, BS8110) used in determining the lever arm (distance from compression block to tensile force) is derived from equations such as this.
We deplore this equation in the design of reinforced concrete structures subjected to flexural stresses such as low/high rise buildings, retaining walls, foundations, etc

2. In structural dynamics or vibrational mechanics, for free damped, free undamped, forced damped or forced undamped systems the derived equations to understudy the response of a structure or structural system under the action of pulsating loads (forced vibration) requires the solution of a second order differential non-homogenous equation resulting to algebraic equations such as the one put up here

3. In the structural design of sheet piles walls under the action of lateral surcharge, lateral soil stresses, soil pore pressures, etc the determination of the minimum penetration depth of sheet piles or cofferdam from equilibrium equations for stability, narrows down to the resolution of polynomials such as this, and making the penetration depth 'd' the subject of the formula


There are several other citations I can't mention at this time. So these are very applicable. It is also used in the shell design of weapon systems such as the Russian Khinzal weapon by solving the bi-harmonic equations for thin plates and shells
The world generally evolves around applied mathematics.

Re: Can You Solve This Math Question? by solofresh(m): 12:37am On Apr 16, 2020
S=n/2(2a+(n-1)d)
Clear the fraction by multiplying both sides by 2
2S=n(2a+(n-1)d)
swap the d and the (n-1)
2s=n(2a+d(n-1)
remove the inner parentheses on the right:
2s=n(2a+dn-d)
remove the remaining parentheses on the right
2s=2an+dn^2-dn
get O on the left by subtracting 2s from both sides
O=2an+dn^2-dn-2s
swap sides
2an+dn^2-dn-2s=O
dn^2+2an-dn-2s=O
dn^2+n(2a-d)-2s=O
dn^2+(2a-d)n-2s=O
Using quadratic formula
n=-(2a-d)+-(2a-d)^2-4(d)(-2s)/2d
finally
n=-2a+d+-4a^2-4ad+d^2+8ds/2d

Hi everyone, I'm back again to this forum. Sorry, I'm just seeing this now.
Lalasticlala, any prize for it?
Let's start by simplifying
s = [n(2a+(n-1)d]/2
Expand the bracket => s = (2an+dn²—d)/2
Noticed, we have exponent of "n", hence we use Calculus/Differentiation. We use the "Quotient Rule" => ds/dn = [vdu/dn - udv/dn]/V² .
where ds/dn means differentiate "s" under "n".
"u" is the numerator, while "v" is the denominator.
ds/dn = [vdu/dn - udv/dn]/v², solving

ds/dn = [2(2a+2dn-d) - (2an+dn²—d)0]/2²
=> ds/dn = 2(2a+2dn—d)/4
simplifying, we have: s = 2a+2dn—d/2
Then, making "n" subject: 2s = 2a+2dn—d
=> 2dn = 2s—2a+d
Therefore,
n = (2s—2a+d)/2d.

cc: Look at the right answer and how I solved it. Prove me wrong, mrshape dejt4u matex97 pyrex23 stennyb, co...
