Do YOU have any ideas on how to solve this one? You need to say what you've tried to get help
 
I think its a bit complicated for an algebra problem and i think variation of parameters could be one of the suited methods to solve it..but I have no idea how to do it..Whats the combinatrics way?
 
Office_Shredder wasn't offering suggestions; that's his signature. :smile:

You need to show what you've tried. Surely, you're covering methods in your class relevant to solving this problem. Try one and see where it goes.
