1. Let's start by understanding what you want to learn. Since you said "explain it to me like I'm 10," I will explain a math concept in a simple way. 2. Imagine you want to add two numbers, like 3 and 4. The rule is simple: you count 3, then count 4 more, which gives you 7. 3. The formula for addition is $a + b = c$, where $a$ and $b$ are numbers you add, and $c$ is the answer. 4. For example, if $a=3$ and $b=4$, then $c=3+4=7$. 5. This works the same for any numbers you want to add. Just count one number, then count the other number more, and you get the total. 6. If you want to subtract, like 7 minus 4, you start at 7 and count backwards 4 steps, which gives you 3. 7. The subtraction formula is $a - b = c$, where $a$ is the starting number, $b$ is how many you take away, and $c$ is what is left. 8. For example, $7 - 4 = 3$. 9. These are the basics of addition and subtraction, which are the foundation of many math problems. 10. If you want me to explain a specific problem or concept, just ask!
