===============
There were SO MANY the same type problems on Kevin and Randy in the past two years at this forum that I decided
to make a lesson devoted to these two personages to have a permanent link . . .
You can GOOGLE for these problems with the keyword "Kevin and Randy algebra.com".
So, there is a computer software somewhere generating all these problems, and there is no any sense to solve them
one after another - it is more than enough to have one such problem solved and presented.
You will not learn more reading tens and tons of identical solutions.
