Yay, I was right, CRZ and a math degree agree with what I originally thought.
And yes...it's a stupid question...from a page full of them. Their math teacher seems to think that teaching them things in the most confusing way possible is the path to higher education. I'm inclined to disagree.
Thanks again Zed.
edit: They're, their...apparently I could have used a better grammar teacher.
Algebra text books should have the answers to half the exercises in the back. You should be able to look at a similar problem (or more correctly your daughter can) and look up the answer, then apply that to that specific problem.
I'm using the same thinking process my old Algebra teacher used when I was in the 8th grade here; The orange in this case is y^2, and you are adding three oranges to another orange, as in 3 X orange + an orange, which would net you 4 X orange.

First off, I have never seen Night of the Living Dead in any way, shape, or form. With that in mind, I have found to versions on Amazon. One, the orginal 1968 version on a single disc DVD for $5. The other a $23 Millenium Edition (or something).
