sportsfan41 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Can't sleep, I think the x is x not "multipli" as we have all assumed. I believe in this equation it is in fact AxB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluegrasscard Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 If 'x' is a variable and not an operation then the answer is a graphed line and not a single number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJAlltheWay24 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Proud of myself that I was still able to get that one right. Someone explain to me a scenario where I'd need to know how to do that? haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodsrider Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 The Xs are for multiply. A friend of my posted this on facebook yesterday. Said it was on her 3 grade son's MAPs test. The argument was if the answer was 30 or 44. It was pretty evenly split, I said 44. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I'd guess they got 30 if they did this part wrong -(3-2x5). Should be minus negative 7 which is really add 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustang Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I obviously was dosing the day they taught this - I got 30. Tripped up by "double negatives." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
