X=24 *sigh*

I major in psychology... Why in the heck do I need to take so much algebra???So, I am in this class trying to figure out all the numbers and letters. I know numbers, I also know letters. I HATE when they combine the two, it doesn't make any sense to me. I have a creative mind, I have an emotional mind. I am right brained dominant according to tests, by 97%. This is a very unusual number. Needless to say, algebra is logic. This is not my style.

So, the professor is trying to teach us to solve for x in some rational expression. It took me a minute to look at the problem, then I came up with the answer. I decided that X=24. No matter what the question, X equals 24 all of the time.

My teacher was stunned, "Nina, how did you get 24?"

The answer is very easy to solve... This is what I said, "X is the 24th letter of the alphabet, therefore it is 24."

It is my opinion that they make X far more difficult than what it needs to be. I think that we need to solve X for what it is, that is the 24th letter of the alphabet, no more, no less. :)

Now, as I do my best to pass my math class, I truly need to figure out what the real answer is. At least I get my teachers to like me. I am always there for a good laugh. We will see what happens over the course of the next six weeks. *sigh*
