Hi! I am having an issue with correctness both on the teacher dashboard and on the teacher tab. I thought the coding was correct, but apparently not. Here is what I have:

correct:input5a.latex=“x+6” or input5a.latex= “x+4”  
correct:input5b.latex=“x+6” or input5b.latex= “x+4”

Any help would be greatly appreciated! 🙂

This would mark true if, for example, they put x + 4 in both boxes. You could do something like this:

```auto
correct: (input5a.latex="x+6" and input5b.latex= "x+4") or (input5a.latex="x+4" and input5b.latex= "x+6")

```
