[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]unless he's splitting it down the middle, then it's a different problem[/quote] No. Kids need to learn (and maybe be explicitly told) that a key to do well on tests like this is figuring out what the teacher wants. Clearly here you are not supposed to split it down the middle. The trick here is that it does not take 2x to do 10 cuts v 5, but 2x + 1. [/quote] You're one of those kids whose teachers always wrote "show your work!!!" aren't you? Because when 2x = 40 but 2x + 1 = 45 I first think wtf? but then with some effort I was able to figure out your thought process. But I sort of hope you don't help your kids with their math hw.
