has anyone got the paper handy?
Question 48.
The answer given is 2x +2y
WE make it 2y+x+z.
Any ideas?

Is the question short enough to type in? If it is I'll give it a go!

2x + 2y is correct
If you look carefully all the horizontal 'bits' of the step make x and ditto the vertical 'treads' of the steps make y.

I can see where we went wrong now.
Sometimes you look so hard at something you can't see straight!
