I'm single parenting tonight and helping our fourth grader with homework. 😬

@philbaker1

n = 5m
n = m + 36
m + 36 = 5m
5m = m + 36
4m = 36
m = 9
n = 5m = 5(9) = 45
n = m + 36 = 9 + 36 = 45
m = 9, n = 45

That seems advanced for 4th grade. Kids must be pretty smart these days!

@wagesj45 She said that there's usually one challenge question on her homework. That must be it.

@philbaker1 The school I went to didn't even attempt algebra until the 8th grade, and only then for "advanced" students. Algebra was only standard for 9th grade. We're gonna be like Star Trek soon where they were teaching Calculus in 1st grade.
