hi

i have seen questions from the likes of FLVS like 
"solve for $x$:  $ ax+b<c$ "
they are seriously making a mistake
since a variable is a variable, and therefore can be positive  or negative, you cannot solve an inequality with variable coefficients. 
you don't know whether to change the inequality or not

yeah write them and tell they since they do not understand what a variable is, they have no business teaching math and should go back to social studies or whatever their major was

if you like i will be happy to write them for you
tell me the system (my guess is FLVS but i could be wrong) and the question id
i am quite serious about this, i am eager to find out why they let such poorly educated people teach math
it is not PhD level math they do no know, it is elementary algebra
