Hi Mandy, from your current syllabus, you are required to work with basic algebra. x' is the algebra representing the number of coins transferred and × refers to multiplying in the solution. Thanks and happy learning. :)

That’s quite a genius way of distinguishing a multiplication symbol from the variable x. I would not have thought of that.

For primary school it is fine. If it's O level and above, it's better to write the x with a subscript 1 instead of superscript. if it's intended to be 'x prime' instead then the ' prime' will be more curved.

Otherwise, write the x in the usual curvy way
