Questions and solutions cannot be in images. You need to post them directly using the PF LaTeX feature. A link to the LaTeX guide is at the bottom left of the post window.
 
If you're going to post screenshots, it's more convenient for the reader if you put the image link between [img] [\img][/size] tags (or use another method, e.g. you could edit your post and click the 'full image' button on the image list below the text box) to post the full image rather than only a thumbnail. Here are your 2 images, reposted for other readers.

Your solution looks ok to me, but this is not familiar territory to me, so I think that you should please wait for another member to confirm.

@Urika ##-## what @PeterDonis said supersedes what I said ##-## he's a Mentor/ Moderator here on PF##-## he posted while I was composing my post ##-## I trust that leaving my post in will be ok because it's still better to post full images rather than only thumbnails in most situations, and you may need to include an image of an Excel chart to show your answer, even when using ## \LaTeX##.

Thanks a lot, I made the images big. Can you please tag someone who will be able to help me confirm

That's generally not how it works here ##-## mostly, someone posts a question, and members browse over threads, click on some they might be interested in, and then if so motivated, provide a reply ##-## sometimes, someone will 'page' someone by saying e.g. that maybe @sysprog has an answer to that, and that member will get an alert that the mention occurred ##-## when you've read enough threads in the areas in which you're interested, e.g in ME, you can then perhaps mention someone whom you think might have a good response, or even start a conversation ##-## assuming that you'll please remember that we're all volunteers here, I think that you're courteous enough that you'll likely find a strong presence here of people genuinely interested in your forum-relevant concerns.

Yes, all of this is correct (with the proviso that an Excel chart can be used to help support an answer, but should not be the entire attempted solution by itself). But as much as possible should still be posted directly, so that replies can quote just the particular things they are replying to. There is plenty in this question that can be posted directly.
