This thread started out with a problem that used * in algebra eqn that did NOT mean multiplication. --That led to confusion. BUT the math geek who wrote the problem knew exactly what he was asking.
So, there ya go. Full circle. With the conclusion that syntax conventions are important, but not everything.
