A simple example would be a fifth-grade teacher testing on the pythagorean theorum. I think the problem would always be worded (assuming no diagram) a = 3

A simple example would be a fifth-grade teacher testing on the pythagorean theorum. I think the problem would always be worded (assuming no diagram)
a = 3
b = 4
c = ?
Granted, this is one person's experience, but I never recall a variable's value being presented as
3 = a
- DougBTX 17y agoTrue, the dependent variable should be on the left. Sometimes it matters less, for example to express that two sides have the same length, a = b and b = a would both be acceptable. Possibly more important, you would never see: a = 3 a = 4 Begs the question: which is it, 3 or 4? Or does 3 = 4 too? Just a reminder that the operators really are equality, not assignment.
