I mean maybe it's just some other formula
I've never seen an equals sign inside a term
It makes the term into a boolean ☝️🤓
I was trying to think what the funniest part was. I think it's the b2 - like just take your b2 vitamins bro, it's worth like squared a regular b.
As someone terrible at math, I appreciate the explanation for what's so wrong here.
Well I didn't spot that
Are both sides being divided by 2a?
Those are questions that mere mortals would ask. Be better: just "vibe solve" it. :-P
You start by dividing both sides by 2a, and then you can multiply both sides by 2a to get rid of the 2a's from both sides. Doing this will give you a sense of accomplishment whenever you don't know how to proceed.
