let space the space total space pearls space be space straight x
1 third straight x space fell space on space the space floor space and space bed
so space 2 over 3 straight x space remained space on space necklace
so comma
2 over 3 straight x equals 60
straight x equals 90 space pearls
so space 30 space fell space off
30 equals on space bed space plus space on space floor
open parentheses on space floor close parentheses squared equals on space bed
30 equals open parentheses on space floor close parentheses squared space plus space on space floor
30 equals straight f squared plus straight f
straight f squared plus straight f minus 30 equals 0
open parentheses straight f plus 6 close parentheses open parentheses straight f minus 5 close parentheses equals 0
straight f equals 5..... straight f space can apostrophe straight t space be space negative
so space on space floor space equals space 5 space pearls
