Question

anonymous · Answer

some of you tutors make me so angry...

anonymous · Answer

Why?

anonymous · Answer

Do you know how he got that answer? Do you know if he's right or not? How can you check?

anonymous · Answer

Hrm. Maybe the answer is 42

anonymous · Answer

Nope. It's a multiple choice question ;)

anonymous · Answer

Maybe it's one of the other answers.

anonymous · Answer

$$y = kx $$

anonymous · Answer

k= y/x =>6/18

anonymous · Answer

again y=kx
         x=y/k

anonymous · Answer

x= 10 * 18/6

anonymous · Answer

x= 30.... Now u know my method :)

anonymous · Answer

They've stopped paying attention Ishaan. You gave them the answer already. Why should they care how to do it again? If they have another question like this, they'll just ask you how to do it again.

anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer

:)

anonymous · Answer

Yes, my frustration is in the fact that it only happened afterward. AND with the fact that if I asked you now that

y varies directly with x and when y=15 x = 3 what will y be when x is 5. I'm not sure you'd understand how to do it..

anonymous · Answer

Tutoring is not about giving answers. It's about asking questions.

anonymous · Answer

Stop that.

anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer

I've been talking to Ishaan this whole time.

anonymous · Answer

Except when I asked if you could solve that last problem.
