Standing waves - show that 8 loops are formed ?

I'm able to do (a) and (b).

Part (C) is where the problem lies.

If you let the length of the string be L
then in the first case there are N loops and each loop is 10cm
so
L = 10N
in the second case there are N+2 loops and each loop is 8cm
so
L = 8(N+2)

solve for N
