In the above situation I could work that out-I'm not THAT bad but never thought of it as algebra.
That just shows that the problem was really with the teacher, it`s the teachers job to find a way to make the student understand, I must have had a good teacher cos i found maths easy, and i`ve explained it the way it was explained to me, if you`d had my maths teacher you`d probably have walked through the exams.
