and the only educational value of such a question would be possibly in a mathematics education course to train teachers to recognize and eliminate bad questions. We do not want students to hate mathematics because of bad questions.

I did identify it as a bad question.

You claimed it was solvable by 9th graders.

The first three equations were good, but the last equation was messed up, so it is altogether a bad question that has no place in education other than perhaps an example of a bad question.

But this is not a good mathematics problem for any course. The first three equations look like a good standard high school algebra problem to get students more used to techniques such as elimination and substitution where we have 3 unknowns and 3 equations. But the fourth equation without the double star looks like a tricky question that could be considered fun and light, but it should not be graded. But the way that the question was illustrated with the double star is just a bad math question, and the only educational value of such a question would be possibly in a mathematics education course to train teachers to recognize and eliminate bad questions. We do not want students to hate mathematics because of bad questions.

See Dr. Van Name, if all your posts were as coherent and neutral as this, then perhaps people would be interested in Reverse Compucoin, or whatever its called. Its good to see that you still have it in you to be rational. You just have to remember to put up with us who are stupider than you, which should be easy to do because its part of being smart.

I have always been coherent. I am just using fewer bad words here and being nice here. But I will give people respect if they act respectably, and I will even talk about 9th grade math. There is nothing respectable about the chlurmcks here who hate my education. The fools here need to admit that they are insufferable @$$holes who are doing nothing but convincing me that they deserve 5 more pandemics.

This is the first thing you have said on this thread that is remotely reasonable. The only problem is that you are commenting on an easy problem in 9th grade level mathematics. You need to do better.

This question would be in a 9th grade logic course (if such exists). Can this problem be solved? Without knowing what the double star symbol is equal to, it cannot.

High school logic courses should exist so that students learn about NOT gates, AND gates, OR gates, XOR gates, CNOT gates, Toffoli gates, Fredkin gates, and reversible computation. After all, there are too many people blathering on about AI (oh wait, I am one of them) and quantum computation (I am also guilty of this, but it is not my fault that LSRDRs reduce the dimension of quantum channels in quantum information theory), but too few of these people recognize that reversible computation is also important.

But this is not a good mathematics problem for any course.

Um. That is a high school level linear algebra problem that a decent 10th grader should be able to solve.
The variables in the last equation are different looking though. And the last equation has two stars put together, but there is no operation connecting the two stars together.

The two stars put together is undefined, so the problem cannot be solved without assumption.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL FRAUD. u can solv thiss?

Um. That is a high school level linear algebra problem that a decent 10th grader should be able to solve. Oh wait. We do not even have to use anything like Cramer's rule or Gaussian elimination because the matrix that we multiply the three variables by is already triangular, so this is an easy 10th grade algebra problem that one goes through before learning harder methods similar to Gaussian elimination for solving systems of linear equations. There are 3 stars. 3*star=18, so star=6. 2*fan+star=14, so 2*fan+6=14, hence 2*fan=8, thus fan=4. 2*clock-fan=2, so by substituting
2*clock-4=2, hence 2*clock=6. Therefore, clock=3. But I see that 6 refers to the number of sides in the star, 4 refers to the number of blades on the fan, and 3 refers to the time on the clock.

In the last equation, we have 3+2*5UnknownOperation5. Yeah. There is nothing connecting the two stars on the last equation together since I need an operation there.

Did not notice the double image at the bottom. Not sure how to compute this one.
