Equivalent doesn’t mean correct.
It has one equation, and substituting another, one that’s only “correct” for a single very specific case for that matter…. Will always be marked wrong/incorrect.
You’ve failed your math assignment.
TF are you talking about?
OP had an assignment: post 3x as many triangles.
I never had any assignment, I simply posted a couple equations illustrating how that has not happened.
Stating what singular equation covers every case is entirely your prerogative.
You claim they are off by a factor of 2x (5x instead of 3x) while they are only off by a paltry 2 units.
I’m calling out your calling out, and it’s hilarious that you still can’t comprehend this.
If you want to correct someone, do it right lmfao.
I claimed the original x3 multiplication is actually x5, then stated further multiplications were off by 2.
Again 100% true. Nothing I've said in this thread is untrue. Instead you've applied my comments to a question that was not asked; "what singular equation describes this behaviour?" then tried to shit on me for 'incorrectly' answering this question I had nothing to do with.
The original 1 -> 5 is indeed x5. No matter what pedantic bullshit you pull out of your ass, 1 x 5 still equals 5. Regardless of which equations you decide to use to arrive at that answer; 5 is still 5 times greater than 1. That's all I had stated, yet you claim this is wrong, because it doesn't conform to your own personal reality.
The original math was also off by two, as 1x5 = 1x3+2 but that doesn't invalidate the fact that it's x5 instead of just x3. Two things can be true at the same time. Wild.
Just because I didn't use a singular equation doesn't make that math wrong.
It's been entirely your prerogative to change the topic and limit this to a singular equation like this is an exam in some high school math class. Nobody asked what the equation that describes this behavior is; that was all you, relentlessly pushing your own desires upon others.
All I did/am here for was to show that this image is not x3 the previous; nor was the original set of posts. Use whatever equations you like, this image is still not 3x as many triangles as previous.
