TheHave you seen this one? Year 2!! pic.twitter.com/TDVjccH8U4May 7,2016@LouiseBloxhamIt is 65. x - 19 + 17 = 63
Therefore x -2 = 63 ...x = 65. Algebraic solution for a y2 Q.

s Question is perfectly fine. We are looking at it algebraically for proof purposes but it's simple add + sub.

though the math question has stumped some parents and young children, the main concern here is not whether or not it can be solved, and but whether 6- and 7-year-olds should've been asked it. That answer to that question is simple: whether there's this much debate about it with adults,then it's not suitable for children.
