Well, I understand it...I just don't see the point of putting it that way...seems mighty wordy, don't you think? Why do I have to teach him something so wordy, when he could accomplish the very same thing in a more smooth and linear fashion??

That N+6(-6) business is beyond stupid imo...

Is there a logical explanation for putting it that way? If so, I will get off line and you can call me.

BTW...I failed algebra 4 times in highschool.

Sounds like the book is getting the kids ready for Algebra.
