    Answer is one. Multiply the solution in the ( ) against the original solution to the left working left to right.

    When you get into higher levels of math, you need to define precision rules. For example if my engine quit at 4000 feet and my plane sinks 2 feet for 8 forward at 80 best glide speed what airports are possible how far? (And how long.)

    What I hated extremely to this day is the BS math preached by common core and so forth. Poor children.

    I am a logical thinking person, so find math easy.
    But I can't draw, and find art stupid.
