    If you trust the source material, like the publisher of a math book, it’s OK to not verify every single practice problem as a teacher. Editors are paid to do that.

    If i would post the whole page, you also would agree that its 10000 percent AI.

    Well do that then. Why should we take your word on it, there’s no evidence here.

      there’s no evidence here.

      Besides the fact that neither problem shown is actually solvable. Which is absolutely a mistake a clanker would make

        Making mistakes is also a human problem, unfortunately. If you change the 8 to a 6, everything works, 300, 220, 350, 100, -50. My guess is a transcription error: the editors cleared the problem, but the typesetter fat fingered it when making a graphic.

          OP mentioned that their Kid has not been taught the concept of negative numbers yet. So the -50 for the lower right part of the right “brick wall” wouldn’t make sense either.
