OSCAR MANUEL!!! LA MANUELA!!! 🗣>A< (sorry, his name sounds like a Latin telenovela name 😂)
Btw it’s ironic how every protagonist that transmigrates or reincarnates in another world always ended up in a world full of magic and lots of magic capabilities. But usually the people in that world are pretty dumb when it comes to math and science 😂. (Algebra, Physics… etc).
So the most probable thing is that the translation missed 2 times and 3 years older instead of just 3 years older. That would make it 17 instead of 34 that we all got. which is also why there was multiplication

There’s nothing wrong with the translation.
A mother is 3 years older than Oscar Manuel and the father is 5 years older than the mother.
If the father is 42, calculate Oscar’s age.
Answer:
Let Oscar Manuel’s age be X.
(X) Oscar’s age + Mother’s age (X+3) + 5 = (42) The father’s age.
Basically according to the question, both Oscar’s and the mother’s age can be contained within the father’s, that’s why it’s = to.
So altogether, X+X+3+5 = 42.
2X + 8 = 42.
2X= 42-8
2X=34
X=34÷2
X=17.
Whenever you take the 2 the other side, multiplication [2X, that is, 2×X], also transforms to division.
Idk what this box method they’re using is.

OH MY GOD i swear i was tripping, thank goodness the comments agree… i literally love how we all actually did it, go team 🙂

I got 34 tho …..

Pretty sure the whole math problem wasn’t translated. Though it bugs me, I’ll have to just take it as it is🙂↔️

I love how we all went back to check the question to see if we read it wrong, did they f up the translation and wrote it wrong?
SyaSya
Ermm. The real equation is like : x – (5+3)=42, right?? 🙄🙄
caccac
I may need to go back to school, thought that was a simple subtraction question and not solve for x

No matter how I look that’s not the answer….. 🤨🗿

Isn’t the answer 34 or am I tripping?

@aera aera , so it’s 2 * [ ] = 34. you divide both sides by 2. so the box remains at the left side. it will become [ ] = 34 / 2

WHEERE DID THE DIVISION COME FROM?
