Blame for attack_sets/word_problems/_authoring/frames.py

"""Story frames for the ALGEBRA word problems (written by the model). Each frame is (variable, text).

Placeholders are filled by attack_data/_build/build_sets.py with the parent's math, x renamed to the frame variable:
{A} {B} sides of a linear equation, {A} the quadratic polynomial (= 0), {E} factor/expand expression or the simplify
fraction (divisor written as (v + r) / (v - r)), {E1} {E2} the two equations of a system (variables x, y kept).
Frames for 'solve' allow negative or zero answers. Frames are rotated over the items of each kind.
