Answer 8

yes, because i needed to know the answer to know how to do the first step of the problem. So yes he helped me

Answer 9

Giving the answer does not help you unless you can demonstrate that you know how to solve it now. When you actually can actually post the steps, then I'll believe you. Either way, users are not supposed to post just answers only.

Answer 10

@Tigeris97, you can post your steps at any time.

Answer 11

fine! i will

Answer 12

Remember, the directions say to solve the equation.

Boooooooooom!

Answer 14

How do I know robtobey didn't private message you? Plus it took you too long.

Answer 15

@Hero

As a minor contributor for over a year now, beginning when Openstudy operated under another site name, with only 1200 students participating, no medal awards, and no "regulations" regarding this and that, the atmosphere was entirely different and rewarding.

Now with the addition of what appears to be a cadre of well meaning solution police/management, it is probably time for me to bail out.

Answer 16

It took long because i had to figure out the steps and im 1 day new to openstudy so i didnt know there was a private message thing

Answer 17

That's your choice @robtobey , I'm just alerting you to the policy change. With as long as you've been on here, you should want to help students, not just give them the answer. Giving answers is analogous to cheating.

Answer 18

wellllllllllllll

Answer 19

i got the answer ad u feel salty so case closed! caso cerado !

Answer 20

I suppose you didn't read the anti-cheating policy I posted above. It clearly states that you can be permanently banned for posting questions with the intent of receiving answers only.

Answer 21

Many people don't know apparently. That's the point of the posts I made. To let people know that such policies are in place.
