The thing about explaining simple math like x=y is that the slower, stubborn students that don't know or understand how these letters can mean numbers usually just need it to be phrased a different way because they're hung up on some irrelevancey.

    The correct method is to actually articulate the irrelevancy; but that takes real work... Either that or perhaps the teacher doesn't understand what the irrelevancy is, so instead, they resort to just repeating the same thing: not internalizing that perhaps the math isn't as simple as they think.
