Can you please tell me what this i about?

Here is one that the teacher put on the board:



7×[X+11 = X×10-10    ITU

  7x+77 = 10x-10        1-7x

     77 = 3x-10            1+10

      87 = 3x                1:3

       29 = x


and here are some of my other questions [ that we must do in the same way]


1)    15x + 3x - 6x = 96

2)    8z + 2 = 90

3)    7w ≤ 49

thank you, from

My daughter can't understand three questions in her homework can you help me so that I can help her? (She's English speaking in a Swiss school and the math teacher speaks no English)

1)   3a*4d*5c*7x=
2)   3a(7b-11b+15d)=
Can you tell me the answers and how to do these and maybe where I can look so my daughter can understand this type of problem?

3) 550+555+560 ..............................  1745+ 1750
We can see what is happening here but what sort of answer is the teacher looking for?

Mum to GG

Thank you for your answers. It looks like the Spanish way is maybe how they do it. That explains why my teacher looked only at the lowest number when he put the line through the lot. I was trying to tell him that the answer was on the top line.  The Spanish way looks upside down and back to front which must be how mine looks to him. I'm in Switzerland.

The different signs are : for division and . for multiplication. So, my first sum I was given looked something like 2:4.3 and I thought it was about a ration of 2 to 4.3 and then the thousand comma is in the air and the decimal point is a floor comma. Talk about confusing. I felt bad because it looked like I could't do any sums. Well, it still does. Mum's going to talk to the teacher on Monday but wanted ideas about the division first. Thanx.

I'm in Europe and just started school here (I don't speak the language yet). My teacher just gave me a sheet of division and I did long division, showed all my working out and then did an estimate underneath. The teacher just put a line through each sum and gave me zero. My mum checked the sums on Google and I got them all right. Is division really different over here? What should I have done? It's bad enought that the maths signs are all different without this too.
