Prepaid sims exist, no?

5 eyes originally, 14 eyes effectively through bilateral agreements.

Relevant Wikipedia section of the 5 eyes article

They're probably operating out of a country where they are legally untouchable for copyright infringement. Or for that matter, just not in a 14 eyes country.

Not necessarily color theory, but archived comics from the 1970s and prior tend to be yellowed from degradation on their original prints (which were then scanned). It could also be the colors available to print artists at the time which were more muted compared to today.

When I made my example, I used an algebraic expression, but yeah, the original question was arithmetic, sorry. Not very good at explaining things XD

Fair enough, I've heard "math problem" and "math equation" used interchangeably.

Also you would be surprised how many people do not know basic algebra, at least in the US rofl

Some forms of programming syntax, although there are the fringe cases where an equation (or function in programming) is represented by a symbol in conjunction with a parentheses input.

For example:

y(x) = 2*x+3

5+y(1) = 10, as 1 is substituted in for x in the prior equation.

Presuming PEMDAS is our order of operations and the 5 next to the parentheses indicates multiplication...

2+5(8-5) -> 2+5(3) -> 2+15=17

Other than adding a multiplication indicator next to the left parentheses for clarification (I believe it's * for programming and text chat purposes, a miniature "x" or dot for pen and paper/traditional calculators), this seems fine, yeah.

...I worry about how many people may not understand how to solve equations like these.
