Okay, how do you layout an answer for something as simple as
sqrt(175)-17**2 in latex?
Looking for a/the method of doing the multiple lines showing your
working with equal signs all lined up.
Given what you are trying appears to be problems for High School maths probs you
might be interested also in the following packages on CTAN:
http://www.ctan.org/info?id=exam
Provides a class exam, which eases production of exams, even
by a LaTeX novice. Simple commands are provided to:
create questions, parts of questions, subparts of parts, and
subsubparts of subparts, all with optional point values;
create a grading table, indexed either by question number
(listing each question and the total possible points for that
question) or by page number (listing each page with points and the
total possible points for that page).
http://www.ctan.org/info?id=probsoln
The package probsoln.sty is designed for lecturers who have to
generate new problem sheets for their students on a regular basis
(e.g. yearly) by randomly selecting a specified number of problems
defined in another file.
