#Andreeva is one of the most exciting female tennis players for years; and so young. She will win the 2026 #FrenchOpen IMO.

@warbru @Simi_2210_ That’s fine. This is just the easy stuff. They need to show us a bit harder such as simultaneous equations or the even harder quadratics.

@Dussyme X equals 9. Integrate the equation (3x - 11) = (x + 7) becomes (3x - x ) = ( 11 + 7) Therefore 2x = 18 QED

@dsmaldp @UchennaF28384 That’s right. I used to know most of the Geometric Theorems back in the day but many of them are elusive to me now.

[Clive Wright @mistermemoryman]

@FMahersya @UchennaF28384 There is a bit of Pythagoras going on here; right angled triangle etc. The right angle is 90° & the one along the 110° line is 70° This means that the one equal & opposite to x is 20°. The angle on the line the other side of x is 160°.

Not so easy on the iPhone when you have big hands. #Sudoku

[Clive Wright @mistermemoryman]

After the initial blast I just got used to doing the hard ones. #Sudoku

@jcrivera24 @Bella_91m7u I didn’t like to leave the ‘Y’ out of the initial party 😀

@PetterRapp @Arden_2210 -5 multiplied by -5 = +25

@farman4x That’s easy the answer is 14. It is 5 squared - 1 which is 24. Add to that the square root of 16 which is 4 and you have 28. Then divide the 28 by the square root of 4 which is 2 and that gives you 14 which is the correct answer.

@Anna_xb2 The answer is 72. Reason is 2x2 =4 and 2x4 =8. 5x5 =25 and 2x25 =50 . Therefore 6x6=36 and 2 x36 =72.

@mathtech789 Pythagoras says that the sum of the squares on each of the 2 adjacent sides are equal to the sum of the squares on the hypotenuse. So (12x12) + (5x5) =169 The square root of 169 is 13. Therefore the total length of the perimeter is (13 + 12 +5) which equals 30. QED.

Beavers have transparent eyelids so they can see under water with their eyes shut. #Springwatch

[Clive Wright @mistermemoryman]

@Simi_2210_ The answer is 3. The square root of 81 is 9 so 9 + 9 =18. 18 divided by 2 is 9 and the square root of 9 is 3. QED.
