Sentence rewriting

Finish each of the sentences in such a way that it means exactly the same as the sentence printed before it.
Both Mr.Wright and Mr. John teach us mathematics.
=>Who...?
My teacher said that the answer would be "Who teaches you mathematics?" but it seemed wrong to me.
Can you help me find the answer?

Hi, Welcome to the Forum. Finish each of the sentences in such a way that it means exactly the same as the sentence printed before it. This does not seem like a clear instruction.

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

Finish each of the sentences in such a way that it means exactly the same as the sentence printed before it. This does not seem like a clear instruction. A question cannot mean exactly the same as an indicative statement. eg Who cooks dinner? does not mean exactly the same as Tom cooks dinner.

That's what bothered me. At first, I thought it would be "Who else could be teaching us mathematics except Mr.Wright and Mr.John?" but it turned out to be wrong.
