What is Algebra?

Algebra is the study of mathematical symbols, and the rule is the manipulation of those symbols.

A king decided to pay a knight one inch of gold for each day's protection on a 6-day trip. The king took a gold bar 6 inches long and paid the knight at the end of each day.

The gold is divided into 2 parts.

First at the 1-inch mark, then the second mark will be

For the second mark, there are two conditions.

Condition 1 = mark can be made at 4 inches, then the next piece will be of 2 inches.

There will be a total of three pieces of 3 inches, 1 inch, and 2 inches.

Condition 2 = Mark can be made at 5 inches, then the next piece will be of 1 inch.

There will be a total of three pieces of 3 inches, 1 inch, and 2 inches.

The division is shown below.

The king will take 1 inch back from the knight and give him 2 inches.

According to the condition = A king gives 1 inch per day to the knight as there are three pieces of length 1, 2, and 3 inches.

So on the first day, 1 inch will be given. On the second day, he will give 2 inches and take 1 inch. On the third day, he will give 3 inches and take back 2 inches. On the fourth day, he will give 1 inch. On the fifth day, he will give 2 inches and take back 1 inch. On the sixth day, he will give 1 inch.
