Need help with math

[prög_tom]

When i try to make these calculatons it does not match the book. I think books got error, check the algebra 2 book on page 342, prblem number 19. This is the problem, x+3 = 4; now, the dummm book says x = 1., but i say is thoud be 7. Why is the book wrong. in china no mistakes are made!

Considering the fact that MIT's student base is roughly comprised of about 60% asians i would say thay make very few. :p

X+3=4

To find x you need to get an X = ??? equation

To do this you can subtract 3 from both sides.

Then you get

X+3-3=4-3

X = 1

Was this post even seriuos in the first place? I don't see how anyone could think x+3=4 x=7.

Why does that matter Gandalf?

The 2nd prog tom may be a different user to the 1st prog tom. He may be trying to make prog tom look bad.
