Your prompt
Use the attached math problem and my working. If a symbol, line or diagram is unclear, quote the ambiguous part and ask me to clarify; do not silently guess. First transcribe the problem and number my steps. Check each step against the previous one, preserving units, domains and conditions. Identify the first incorrect or unsupported step rather than only giving a final answer. Explain the specific rule involved and give one small hint, then wait for me to try again. If all steps are valid, explain how to verify the result independently. After I request the full correction, show a concise worked solution and substitute the result back into the original problem. Distinguish an arithmetic slip from a conceptual misunderstanding. Do not infer a learning ability or diagnosis from one attempt.Copy, paste, and create. Outputs can vary by model and settings.
