How can we fix the American Education system?

These are fake problems created by redditors to farm upvotes faggot. Go back.

you can easily turn 4+2 into 5 +1 therefore proving each sides are equal, i'd put it into 5th grade though

Not all public schools in America are the same. There's some centralization at the federal and state levels but even within a county there can be significant differences between schools.

4 + 2 = 4 + 2

without solving the equation

its already solved

It''s s trick question. "Can you prove" not just "prove" so it's a yes or no answer with the correct answer being NO. I can not prove this without solving both sides.

4+2+5-1
flip 5 into the first side
so its 4+2-5=1
and 4+2-5 equals to 1

4x+2x=5x+x

6x=6x

x=x

4+2=5-(1)+1+(1)=6
There

I am not native English speaker but I see word "Explain"

not bad

its already solved

Ding!
140 IQ take.
Public school is for niggers.

Take a class in your town called The Science of Human Sexuality

it is what it is

5+1

take one from the 5 and add it to 1

4+2=4+2

didn't have to solve for both sides

Most people do this shit in their head, especially for larger numbers. Kids learn to do it when you're doing basically math. Niggers don't know how to do this simple shit, so you get math problems that are over-explained and look retarded as fuck. So now you've mystified something that most kids will teach themselves normally and made it stressful and confusing.

there is nothing to prove. addition is an axiom and requires no proof or explanation.

the last time someone tried to measure human sexuality, we got the psychology industry

No, it's about showing the obvious in more obvious way. So:
4+2 = 5+1
4+1+1 = 5+1
5+1=5+1

I am assembling a team

Also:
4+2 = 5+1 | -6
0=0

No, it's about showing the obvious in more obvious way. So:

Then a 105 chimes in.
Context, Helmut.

4 + 2 = 6
There didn't solve both sides

Okay, so 5+1=6? Prove it without solving 5+1

Retard, you have to prove it not only see the solution...

The answer is no

4+2= 4+1+1=5+1
Too complicated for 1st grade but 4th or 5th should get it. Either way the answer wouldn't be expected to use algebra

I did explain. Without solving both sides you can not "Prove" the equation.

That’s the most retarded question I’ve ever seen.

If Tyrese can only fit six apples up his ass, shoves four up his ass, then goes to the drag show and forces another two in, he's just as strong and brave as Dshawn, who instead stuffed his rectum with one apple at home, before an additional five for the show.

you cant prove addition. its a foundational axiom. you cant progress through mathematics without accepting that the reason 4+2=5+1 is because it does

they were looking for the answer

no, I'm 6

Just turn it into..

4+2-5 = 1

Only one side needs to be solved.

Fucking hated these questions as a kid, smug fucking cunt teachers carrying on like midwits.

Easy. Hold up both your hands and indicate the given number of fingers on each side of the equation. Now count them ... q.e.d.

but that's a good question for 1st grader to evaluate his cognitive abilities

Yes, you can. You do it by demonstrating equivalence. The point of the problem isn't to solve both sides, but to show how both sides are equal. The goal is to help kids focus not on the end result, which is 6, but on the relationship between the two sides of the equation without directly solving either side. It's about mathematical reasoning and understanding. This is an important skill that builds toward algebra.

4+2 = 5+1

(4+1)+(2-1) = 5+1

5+1 = 5+1

q.e.d.

4+2 = 5+1 | +x

4+2+x=5+1+x | -6

x=x

What's the problem?

This is okay as a thinking question as there are a lot of possible ways to prove it without adding.

I think they mean the 4 is -1 compared to the 5 and the 2 is +1 compared to the 1, therefore they are equal.

That wasn't the question, it was to prove that the equations is true

people who can "answer" these questions should be punched in the face until they can't

True

stop funding it.

eglin style r3ddit spam thread

even better:
4+2 =5+1
4+1+1 = 5+1
5+1=5+1 | -5
1=1

Final solution

Represent each number with jelly beans or something. Take one jelly bean away from each side until you are left with 0. Should be the same amount of times.

4 + 1 + 1 = 5 + 1
5 + 1 = 5 + 1

The way we work with numbers is beat. I know 7 x 8 = 56 by memory only but can't picture it. Is true arithmetic for autists only?

Without solving BOTH sides

4+2=5+1
4+2=6
4=6-2
4=4

You cannot solve both sides as per the questions rules, but it doesn't say "without solving either side" so we can solve one side. You don't have to represent or describe this in terms of dicks sucked or jelly beans removed. Just solve one side and subtract one of the numbers from the other.

Lol common core

To actually answer OP, I'm okay with the way we learn numbers being manipulated. As a society we're garbage with math. The only thing we can visualize is addition, for subtraction, multiplication and division we rely on memorization.

Memorization paradoxically becomes less reliable the more you conceptually work with numbers. You need them to mean something. 4 x 9 can't be 36 for no reason. Your brain screams but why is there a 3 and a 6 right there.

Why is 12 - 5 8. Or is it 7? Fuck was that supposed to be 13?

I shouldn't as an adult who is good at math, still have this conversation in my head.

Simplest and correctest answer:
5+1 = (4+1)+1 = 4+(1+1) = 4+2

You do it by demonstrating equivalence.

Which is solving both sides
