She’s right—using simultaneous equations does get really complicated, and if you’d like to send me your work for the solution, I’d love to see it. But the system is also kind of a trick.

CCM politician Shamsi Nahodha recently questioned why we teach quadratic equations in primary or secondary school as part of a larger statement on how he thinks we should fix our education system.

If, while watching the Super Bowl, you had wanted to estimate how far a pass thrown by Patrick Mahomes traveled through the air, you would have been solving a quadratic equation. The equations ...
