write a clear explanation of what error has been made. What could be done to avoid this error Answer by mathdoc314(58) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! i think an audio-visual presentation showing the lost 2 falling off the equation train and then when it gets to the equation station the inventory is out of order.
You had two crates and each crate had an x and a 2 in it
Someone reorganized the crates on the train. There was a crate for x's and a crate for 2s but they failed to notice the crate for 2s. So they put the x's into the crate and put a 2 on top of the x's crate and threw the rest of the 2's out the window. The guy who does this has to look goofy in some way like maybe he has his shirt upside down. Then some kind of good guy comes around like AlgebraBeing and puts his shirt on rightside up and provides him with the crate that the 2s were supposed to be in. After that they do it again and at the end they are rewarded by the equation station master. I suggest Flash presentation.
