Answer 2

Sure! You just need to practice! That's the easy part. If you're good at math, you'll get it. It comes with practice and understanding. The more you understand why 2+2=4 the easier it will be to apply it to real life.

I have been practicing for 3 days straight.

Answer 4

i can do simple ones like 2 times a number.........
