I don't think I ever used a math variable to help me do anything in my adult life. Have you?

I feel like I learned more about math from video games. Thanks to dumb stacking mechanics and bonuses, etc.
I don't give a shit what 6% of Bill's crops losses are, but I do wanna know how much that 6% is improving my weapon reload.

Try accounting

It's all basic A/S/M/D, but more frustrating and mundane than all the algebra, calculus, trig and whathaveyou that I took in high school.

I'm sure you have used algebra many times in your life without realizing it.

You have, but it's not as simple as it being "solve for x" in real life.

Even something as simple as splitting the remaining balance of a bill after half the people have already paid is a "solve for x" equation.

That being said, all math is just a more complicated versions of the simple add/subtract/multiply/divide you had on lock by 4th grade.

Just like every class you take after you learn how to read is all just various stages of reading comprehension classes.

Technically any math is solving for X, they just leave the right side of the equals sign empty until algebra.

5 + 2 = X
