Confession #919

I work in the College Mathematics Textbook division. In doing some QA on a book's online learning portal, I decided to try my hand at some algebra problems.

8x + 9 = -31

The answer is not 2.75.

This problem brought my 100% score to a 50% score. And then I quit.

I'm smart at my job, just not smart at math.

It's okay Natalie, when seven years have passed since your math years, you are no longer slave to knowing algebra.

(this rule is null and void if said person took at least four years of math in college)
