anonymous · Answer

are you just having us do your whole homework

anonymous · Answer

follow the last one and do the same stuff just with these numbers

agent47 · Answer

Ok, samsai, the thing is, u better be able to do this, because if u can't, there's not much point of u sticking around in school. This is not hard, just find a number, that when multiplied by 2 equals to 15 minus 7. That's all there is to it.

anonymous · Answer

oh be nice Agent47 people don't learn by criticism

anonymous · Answer

@samsai just apply the same as we did on the last one

agent47 · Answer

And if u don't stick around in school, you can forget leading a normal life... All the stories about these genius school dropouts only show you one side. All of them actually worked their arses off

agent47 · Answer

And takebackmath, that's the problem with education here, teachers are too tactful, too afraid to hurt other ppl's feelings... which is exactly why the dropout rates are so high. I don't get why teachers in schools are afraid of kids..

agent47 · Answer

Just a friendly advice though...you're more than welcome not to listen to me.
