[UK]: Boy spots maths advert has the wrong answer

[freaker76]

Incorrect.

g2 x g7 = (g x g) x (g x g x g x g x g x g x g) = g(2+7) = g9

(g2)7 = (g x g)7 = (g x g) x (g x g) x (g x g) x (g x g) x (g x g) x (g x g) x (g x g) = g(2x7) = g14

Geeesh

They could have just said," Uh, if you encounter a Maths problem like this, don't panic, just move over to the next question".

I learnt that stuff in Grade 7 or 8 I think.

Oh I see now, g2 is actually g-squared, which is totally different to g2 which is just incredibly confusing
