It does not explain what 'r' is.

Answer 12

oh you need an explanation for r

Answer 13

Sure - I've never seen anything like it before.

Answer 14

hmm idk what the r means you know how t usually stands for tiles and c means something else but it doesnt say

Answer 15

Wow I never used 't' for tiles or anything like that. I usually use 'x'.

Answer 16

And what the hrck would 175r to the fifth power be? What does it mean?

Answer 17

Wait a minute are you testing me

Answer 18

No - I am not testing you. Basically I'm just trying to understand the question.

Answer 19

Oh

Answer 20

It seems as if that question is in another language.

Answer 21

Loll idk flvs is a thing i try to run away from as soon as i finish this class on tuesday im heading straight back to public school

Answer 22

Answer 23

Florida Virtual School

Answer 24

Their teaching philosophy is VERY weird.

Answer 25

I know totally different from the way people teach me on OpenStudy

Answer 26

Yes, I like to speak as clearly as possible and not type weird things like 'r to the seventeenth power'.

Answer 27

I'd say that is why you see a LOT of online math and science websites. Some people want to see things in plain English.

Answer 28

loll

Answer 29

Yeah when i copied and pasted the question it turned out like that because originally it was an image so when i copied it i guess it reformed

Answer 30

Yes, I'll say. Then again in the link you sent me the discussion there was talking about 'r to the 17th power' as if it was completely logical.

Answer 31

loll yeah

Answer 32

By the way you copy graphics and pictures differently than text.
(See attached).

Answer 33

What do you mean?

Answer 34

Ohh it wasnt like a picture picture it was like a flvs text type of picture it said copy image or save image

Answer 35

You mentioned you copied that problem along with the graphics.
You must copy graphics separately.
oh geez - it was a special FLVS image - well I should have known.

Answer 36

i know if i copy the graphics it wont allow me but if i do it with the text it will

Answer 37

Idk i just had gotten lazy but I submitted my test and received a 96 :D Thank you, Now on tuesday I have to take the final test i could only hope you'll be here to prep me
