Who the f decided this was easier? Let’s add 15 steps to this math problem cause it’s “easier”, math is about the journey not the destination?

if the question gets 1 mark per question will be millennials and if the question gets 4 marks the answer will be GEN Z 😅

To think some instructors would mark the millennial answer incorrect for not showing the “work”.

Gen X and I answer right after the 12 squared because I learned my squares up to 12 along with the rest of the multiplication table. I don’t write out 12x12 because I already know that’s what 12 squared is.

Or Gen X here (7+5)*(7+5) = (12)*(12) = 12*12=144 side note I just put in the equation and TikTok tried to solve every step I put I had to ignore the suggestions lol

on the right is only used when a variable is involved.

GenX. Should an if statement apply (ei 7=x), then both methods stand. Depends on what you want to solve for.

Gen X. I was taught both. The second was used only after you reduced what was in parentheses to its simplest form and still had an equation in the parentheses rather than a simple number.
