check if this is ok(attachment)

Hi
I don't know if you are a pure math guy or something..I wrote what I felt was right...Check this out and let me know..I am an engineering guy who likes math..If you are looking at convergence and things like that ,then you might want to talk to a math guy..
I hope this helps

To solve this sum, we need to first identify the given numbers and the operation to be performed. In this case, the numbers are 3, 6, and 9 and the operation is addition. So, the sum can be written as 3 + 6 + 9.

To solve this, we can use the commutative property of addition, which states that changing the order of the numbers being added does not change the result. So, we can rearrange the numbers in any order we want.

Let's rearrange the numbers in ascending order: 3, 6, 9. Now, we can add them one by one: 3 + 6 = 9, 9 + 9 = 18. Therefore, the sum of 3, 6, and 9 is 18.

Alternatively, we can also use the associative property of addition, which states that grouping the numbers being added does not change the result. So, we can group the numbers differently and still get the same result.

For example, we can group 3 and 6 first, and then add 9: (3 + 6) + 9 = 9 + 9 = 18. Or, we can group 6 and 9 first, and then add 3: 3 + (6 + 9) = 3 + 15 = 18.

In both cases, the result is still 18.

Therefore, the sum of 3, 6, and 9 is 18. I hope this helps you solve the given sum.

1. What is the first step in solving a problem?

The first step in solving a problem is to clearly define and understand the problem. This includes identifying what the problem is, why it needs to be solved, and what resources are available to solve it.

2. How do I approach a problem-solving process?

A good approach to problem-solving is to break the problem down into smaller, manageable steps. This can involve brainstorming possible solutions, researching and gathering information, and creating a plan of action.

3. What are some effective problem-solving strategies?

Some effective problem-solving strategies include trial and error, using analogies or metaphors to gain new perspectives, and seeking advice or input from others. It can also be helpful to take breaks and come back to the problem with a fresh mindset.

4. How do I know if my solution is the best one?

The best solution to a problem should meet all of the criteria set for solving the problem, be feasible and realistic, and have the potential for long-term success. It can also be helpful to evaluate potential solutions based on their potential risks and benefits.

5. What should I do if I get stuck while trying to solve a problem?

If you get stuck while trying to solve a problem, take a step back and reassess the situation. Consider approaching the problem from a different angle or seeking help from others. Don't be afraid to try different strategies or solutions until you find one that works.
