Comment from student: Hi, thanks for replying. I'm trying to help my daughter with her homework.
Shes in 6th grade doing 8th grade algebra. Below is exactly how the question is stated on her homework.

Solve the equation. Check your solution. S-□-4□=7.3 I'm extremely confused. Shouldn't x be used in place of the □?
My husband is a math wiz & this has him stumped as well. Thanks any help it is greatly appreciated.

My response : Don't spend your time for this nonsense.

It is a shame for authors of the 8-th grade Algebra textbook to write equation in this form.
