This try at a solution would be incorrect.
Well, this try at a solution would be incorrect.
I'm attempting to hint someone that he is using the wrong approach that will bring him nowhere. I'm talking on solving a math problem by the way.
My question is, is it correct to say "This try at a solution would be incorrect."?
Please help me and thanks.

Thanks, CJ.
Aha! On the word "attempt", do you think you'd say "Just keep attempting questions and you'll get there."? I mean, do you think it's a natural way of saying? And how about this, "You're advise to attempt more questions to get yourself familiar with the chain rule and you'll find that the substitutions will become very straightforward.
