Answer 9

Thank you @Jamierox4ev3r I already messaged Futuristic about it. The OpenStudy Code of Conduct specifically states

"OpenStudy values the Learning process - not the ‘Give you an answer’ process
Don’t post only answers - guide the asker to a solution."

That was an answer right off the back, he did not participate at all. Try breaking it down into steps, then getting the asker to participate. That's what I do.
