As a diesel lover, I HATE loud diesels with trash can tips and wheels that stick out a foot.
Put the trip off a bit. It was damaged by a hurricane way back then again in the more recent one. I understand three are some massive restorations goin on, It's one of only two in the world with 64 ft pipes that generate 8 hz. The other is the Sydney Opera House.

Those are called Sprites, I think. Super cool!!!
This is common core witchcraft
What is hiliarious is that the graphic below the problem IS the solution.
8+9=17
And,
(8+2)+7=17, where 8+2 “creates a 10.”
And equally valid solution is…
(9+1)+7=17, where 9+1 “creates a 10.”
Without saying as much, this problem demonstrates the associative and commutative properties of addition.
Math is RIFE!!!
Looks like someone mixed a 13B rotary engine with a child's rendering of an engine with some tubing on it
I’d bet money that a Marine is working g this flight line….
What you wrote is idiotic and that’s why Chinese kids run circles around ours.
If you want to feel better about yourself then increase funding for special ed and stop holding everyone back.
common core math fks kids up. Kids end up hating math because most of the teachers can't explain it properly anyways. When parents can't simply show kids how to add and subtract, kids aren't learning correctly.
Math use to be straight forward 30 years ago in school. The ed dept then took a bunch of teachers that don't know math and came up with a curriculum.
This is a check box for flunky teachers and Administrators

In HS I had two math teachers. One was amazing in the way she explained stuff and everyone understood and progressed in the class. The other was horrible and made learning hard. We were basically left on our own to figure it out using our math books. She was a waste of taxpayer dollars.
30 (closer to 40 now) years ago, we had to be able to name the properties and write equations that demonstrate them. These are not new concepts.
Now, the kids are given assignments with the answers baked into them, and the parents that went through that curriculum still don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground.
Out of context of the rest of the assignment, this problem looks weird. But, I’d bet dollars to donuts that within context of the assignment, it is part of a rational progression.
I had my own “wtf, that’s not how to math” moment with both of my boys. What realized, however, is that the issue was not with the curriculum per se, it was with ineffective teaching. I taught them what I was taught, then I figured out what they were being taught, and broke that down so that they understood it.
After 30+ years, I had to look up the names of the properties, but I knew immediately what was being taught.
There is math and there is arithmetic. Completely and totally different processes.

Too bad they just couldn't keep New Math.

I had 'new math' as a kid. What a fucking joke. And it was worse because I'm not a 'math' guy. Geometry and languages... no problem.
Algebra.... fuck no! How I made it through Calculus 1 and 2... I can only say that I did it during summer semesters in small classes with a really great teacher. But holy hell... the folks who did Differential Equations and beyond... fucking dorks!

Im in college for manufacturing engineering. Still have to take Calc 1. Have to do the placement test since math expires (already took college algebra and Trig and got good grades). So annoying for that test you have to do it without any calculator at all.
Originally was thinking of mechanical but heck no with all that math. Calc 1, 2, 3, linear algebra, and differential equations. I hate math taught by math people that dont know the applications and love all of the theoretical side.
as someone with an engineering degree, thats all there is going to be.
I will say that if the math teachers had said that 'Math will help you put a bullet through someone at 2000 yards...' I might have paid more attention, too.
I'm an 'applied' kind of guy!
BTW, if you have not read @Lowlight's book and his section on "weaponized math" it is outstanding!
