amistre64 · Answer

can we think of a specific example to counter it?

amistre64 · Answer

technically i think they do require it ... but thats just being 'complete' and not doing any work in the head.

amistre64 · Answer

x+y = 3
x-y = 1
-------   addition is needed in this specific method
2x   = 4 ..... and then multiplying by 1/2

even if it was 1x we would technically have to apply a multiplication identity property .... but thats prolly going beyond the ken of the question.
