Well Alan and Melody explain it to you so now all you have to do is change your mind. That is easer than changing all the math rules.
I figure out that Santa Clause is not real when I was 6. Even though I think he was real that not make it true. My little sister figured it out but she keep changing her mind because she not want to hurt his feelings if he is real. Hahaha She probably make up her mind before she is 8.
If you want to use Latex to write things on here then you should learn how to do that too. Mathgod know how to use it and he is 12. He know how to do math better than you too.
$${$No one is impressed by b******t on here }\\
{This is how it should look } \\\\
{Melody I agree with you 8 - 3^2 = 8 - 9 = -1 ${ but my question is how much is } -2^2 ${ to me should be +4}$$
