The british are light years ahead of Americans in education, that's why the correct answer to this 2nd grade math problem in the UK is 46.

Yeah, idk what is confusing about this. I have always done math in my head (since I was 15-16) like the US common core tries to teach it (but I couldn't have done it in 2nd fucking grade).

I just took the difference of who got on and off, which is -2, and subtracted from the amt you have left.

You have 63 now, you had a net loss of two (19-17) so you started with 65.

ALSO 'at the first stop' implies that at the first stop, as in, at the next spot that the bus stops to let people in and out, so does that mean that the 17 people just jumped into the bus as it was moving? Did they just stand in the road and force the bus to stop for them? WHY THE FUCK AM I HAVING TO FIGURE OUT HOW THE BUS SYSTEM WORKS IN THIS THEORETICAL MATH QUESTION?

If you're a fucking idiot, sure. However, these tests are designed to see if you are paying attention.

It's simple.

There are 63 people on the train, after 17 people just got on the train.

So before those 17 people got on the train, there was 46 people on the train.

At the first stop 19 people got off the train.

So, to begin with there was 46 people on the train, plus the 19 that got off at the first stop.

This means there were 65 people on the train to begin with.
>>
>>73521341
It's 19 because those people were on the train at one point and got of the train. The question "is "how many people were on the train to begin with?" so its 19 because that is the number of people who began on the train and ended some where else.

Think about it literally. Those 17 who got on were not there "at the start" .

There were 65 on at the start, however, 19 left. That only left 46 people on the train who were there at the start.

Its a dumb as fuck answer, but I see their asshole logic.

>>73524057
Meant to say 26.41421356237
lol my mistake.

If T + T + T = 60, that means that each taco or T is 20.
If 20 + B + B = 30, then B must equal 5
If B - C^2 = 3, then C^2 must equal 2
So, Square root of 2 + 20 + 5 = 26.41421356237

To clarify there is no tense set to the action of people getting off the train
You could be at the beginning of the line before the first stop and just so happen to know that x people get off the train on the first stop, it could also be after the first stop because either the amount of people who get off the train on the first stop is a constant and can be presented in a tense less way or you know how many people got off because you witnessed it.

Also don't forget to count yourself.

Also the confusion stems from retard teachers still insisting on using PEMDAS/BODMAS/WHATEVERMAS which leads to this ambigious bullshit.

Teach people you can freely switch operants around in an equation if you follow the order of operation. There is no "LEFT TO RIGHT" priority. You think there is one, but there isn't.

This left to right requirement was added because PEMDAS/etc. DOESN'T FUCKING WORK WITHOUT IT.

All substraction is negative addition, you can switch that shit around if you obey the actual rules.

Besides, for the chucklefucks who are still gonna be like "bb-but it's the actual system", there are equations that you are not even able to solve with pemdas, for example -|1-2|

And then there's all the crap that people think is part of pemdas, but it isn't. The left to right rule is nowhere in pemdas, they just teach it as an intrinsic property of math which is wrong,

And then you get shit like this: a*b/c at which point the last retard can understand that pemdas is just bullshit.

Use fractions you dumb niggers, and teach them in place of divisions and don't ever use that stupid pemdas shit again.

Well then, at the begining it had 0 as the "were" references to a looong time before, when it was crafted.

Your answer is fine but I kind of feel your method is wrong. If the problem were more complex you'd have issues.

The 19 people you subtracted were part of the original number, which you are seeking. So, no need to remove them. Keep them on the train and just remove the 17 newcomers.

That's because due to "No Child Left Behind" and other legislation, the schools move at the pace of the slowest student.

If this is the case, then it's 26.

If the chilli regardless of how many there are = 2, then it's 27.

Starting point: If "were" means before the first stop, while on the way to the first stop, the answer is 63. Either, that "were" can mean when the train was crafted, so the answer is 0.

How? Well in this dimension we're assuming time is linear (that's what we call a fair assumption, not one based on given knowledge we can't actually know which way to interpret).

Here are all of the changes by intervals:

Departing station at point A1 (+0):
>46
Departing station at point A2 (+17)
>63
Train departs at point A3 (+0)
>63
Train arrives at First Stop at point A3 (-19)
>44

Point A3 is logically redundant, but it shows how there is a change from one station to another. The question is concerned with point A1, which we reach from the facts given to us about point A2 and using arithmetic.

That's making an assumption.

See >>73526759. To begin with means 46 even if we're being robotically logical. Assuming people once did not occupy this train is common sense, not an infallible fact.

In both the context of the question (wording-based maths problems) and the most asinine and over-bearing extension of this argument into the literal interpretation of language (retarded), the answer is till 46 and can never be anything else.
>>
65 is what you get with just the numbers, but remember that London is only 45% white so only 29/65 can be considered people.
>>
>>73526759

You make no sense.

Why would you count 17 people as being randomly different from the 46 that were already on the train at the departing station?

Also, you're adding in TWO points at the departing station to make you convoluted point even more pointless. Nowhere in the math problem is this ever addressed. Making a math problem appear harder doesn't make you smarter, it makes you more retarded for not being able to answer it in a simple way.

IN THE MATH QUESTION the 17 people that get on the train comes after the 19 that get off, in linear time, as I said some posts ago.

For telling other people that they have low IQ, you're pretty dumb yourself.

Well, to begin with there were 0 people on the train because trains don't start out with people in them.
>>
>>73527535
>Why would you count 17 people as being randomly different
Because the distinction is made in the question. A lot of trains run on split lines where the departing train has to reach a destination and double back on itself in order to split the track and arrive at another destination. The original people could be there waiting for that. In any case, the question is clear what is happening.

>Also, you're adding in TWO points at the departing station
I'm expressing the existence of two states based on the information given to me. That is the "to begin with" state of passengers unknown and the change of 17 passengers.

> Making a math problem appear harder doesn't make you smarter,
I'm aware of this, I'm providing exposition because you didn't understand my very simple explanation, originally.

>17 people that get on the train comes after the 19 that get off
There's no indication of this. The question indicates that 17 made up the total of 63. The 19 getting off happens at a future state.
