    That’s not even an equation, just basic arithmetic

      Technically not algebra, right? Algebra is where you move things around and solve for variables, and that kind of thing. This is just arithmetic.

      Fair enough, I’ve heard “math problem” and “math equation” used interchangeably.

      Also you would be surprised how many people do not know basic algebra, at least in the US rofl

        You. You are one of them bc you do not know what an equation is.

        There is no algebra here. This is arithmetic.

          When I made my example, I used an algebraic expression, but yeah, the original question was arithmetic, sorry. Not very good at explaining things XD
