Dale Chapman @dalechapman.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I love hearing questions i've never been asked x + y = 10 "Is 10 the subject?" #MathsToday 2151
Bill Wood @billarama.bsky.social · 17/09/2026The verb is “equals” or “is” and x+y is the subject. And this is an excellent question. I try to demystify notation by emphasizing that equations are just shorthand for full sentences. 100
Dale Chapman @dalechapman.bsky.social · 17/09/2026That's lovely. I'll be honest I had no idea two things can be the subject-- I thought it could only be the subject if there was one thing in isolation (and it was the only place it appeared) 100
