I studied algebra in High School, and I actually remembered this equation: If 2x + 5 equals 11, then the value of 2x - 5 is 1. This has stuck with me for years, apparently and I don’t know why. I did use to get all A’s and B’s in math from middle and high school. I actually got crystal award for my math skills. It’s weird but true, I guess?!? 🤷🏾‍♀️

@traditionalnative 2 ай бұрын

It stuck with you so you could answer right here! Things pay off in the weirdest ways sometimes. I skipped a grade in math, but I've never been exceptional, and I honestly had to cheat my way through algebra 1, algebra 2 I got a tutor who taught piano and studied languages on the side - once she let me start seeing things like languages (I grew up with english as my third language, and I love learning, so I was fluent by then in 7, as of now, 14) and make comparisons to grammar, algebra actually started to make sense to me. Previous teachers were pissed I don't think linearly (my assignments showed this) a lot because I have ADHD and also grew up in a hunter-gatherer society and culture which benefited me where I'm from, but getting places outside of there to listen to me has always been a challenge 😅 I was excited when I got this question right
