Please stop asking us to find your X. She left and isn't coming back. We don't know Y.

Nothing funnier than being in a college Math 101 course and watching a college student stare at this equation on the board without a clue…
3x + 7 = 13 solve for X

A local teacher got arrested for carrying a ruler, a protractor, a calculator, and a book containing a table of trigonometric functions. He was charged with possession of "weapons of math instruction"!

Please stop asking us to find your X. She left and isn't coming back. We don't know Y. "Something doesn't add up here", replied Arithmetic "Well -- if he knew how to integrate, he wouldn't have that problem", choked Calculas "Its not just a straight line" chimed Geometry. " Many outcomes- its an inversion matrix", squeaked Differential equations.

Never found a use for algebra, on the other hand geometry and trig proved to be very useful.

3x + 7 = 13 solve for X Must be an easy 1 ! Even my being out of school for over 40 years, brain solved in seconds
