1. The problem is to write the steps for solving a math problem clearly and logically. 2. Start by stating the problem you want to solve. 3. Identify the relevant formulas or rules that apply to the problem. 4. Show all intermediate steps, including simplifications, factorizations, or evaluations. 5. Explain each step in plain language to help understanding. 6. Use numbered steps and line breaks to keep the explanation organized and easy to follow. 7. Use LaTeX formatting for all mathematical expressions, ensuring inline math is enclosed in $...$ and display math in $$...$$. 8. Avoid any ASCII art or special characters that might break formatting. 9. End with the final answer clearly stated. 10. This approach helps learners follow the logic and understand how to solve similar problems.
