It is sad to the extent that so-called "Intelligent" people have complicated something as simple as Math. Just because they have a degree doesn't mean they are intelligent....even engineers can't reinvent the wheel, only the material that it is made from....:).....:duc

I have to behave being a pastor in the community, but I will back mine if they are wronged when right. I will also flog 'em if they've wronged someone. So far, so good. One's in lower grade school, and the other preschool. Haha. Long way to go and time to change my position.

Actually, the two digit number is supposed to be LESS than 60, so 84 would be incorrect. It would have to be 48, but the problem should be written clearer as regards the subtraction so it's clear that the first # of the 2 digit number would be subtracted from the 2nd #... Most naturally figure the 2nd number is subtracted from the first. :hu

In fact this type of problem is the first "introduction" to algebraic formulas. Since the US is presently losing ground in the math and sciences (intellectually and scholarly) to other countries, many school programs are trying to increase exposure to higher level math and science at much younger ages. Just my 2 cents worth.
