Has any student ever said aloud that math is an easy subject? We doubt. Math is a subject that is enough to give chills to even the strongest and the bravest of hearts. Liam is facing a serious problem with his academic life, all thanks to the scary subject.  Let's know what the issue is.

The story

Liam is an average student. He gets nothing less than passing marks, but nothing more than just getting passed in exams. Liam often spends most of his time in art, but not many parents in the world support art, right?

His artwork is something commendable, but people often focus on what he is not good at, math!

He often comes home with teary eyes when his math teacher scolds him, and his parents too never miss a chance to scold him.

Liam is in distress. His parents have confiscated his painting equipment, and have asked him to do all his math homework the right way. 

Can you help him with his math homework?
