Description

The comic features a simple homework assignment on a yellow paper with a black outline. The text reads:

"Show your work and box in your answers.

1) x² + 6x + 9 = x + 3

Solve for x.

Below is the equation work shown:

x² + 6x + 9 = x + 3 x² + 6x = x - 6 x² = -5x - 6

At the bottom, there is a note with the text: 'I know you’re sleeping with the principal.'

This is marked with an 'A++' grade in red."

The overall tone reflects a humorous take on a student's response to a math problem.
