I couldn't solve this at all. I had to write a program to solve for all cases for 1 to 1000 and I got the same answers: 3 & 7
Could someone please tell me where I'm going wrong analytically?
PS I've read post #2.
I got those too, I assumed n was positive, but I admit n=1 is a fair solution but is trivial.mtayab1994 said:But you're missing -3 and 1 they are also answers in Z.

I actually appreciated your method; I didn't say anything against it.mtayab1994 said:Oh alright it's pretty easy solving it my way just look at my steps and see what I did.

You've already replied to my post that said I couldn't solve it.mtayab1994 said:What method do you use to solve them and by the way i have another one for you to solve if you want. Look at the other thread I'm going to post so you can see it.

mtayab1994 said:Oh sorry my fault.
oay said:No problem. Are you Indian?

Which is where?mtayab1994 said:Go take a look at my other thread so we can stop posting on this thread.
