X Squared Plus Seven Minus Salad

I can’t solve that equation. I’m sure at one point in my life I could, which is really sad. I’m absolutely certain I was more knowledgeable about things like that when I was in sixth grade. Now, I can’t even figure out a 15% tip on a ten-dollar lunch.

  • The people who put time into solving this are simultaneously crazy and AWESOME.
  • Solution in 4 steps. Also got (3+-SQRT(97))/2

    I got (3+- sqrt97) / 2. It looks easy, but then it simplifies to a problem that's a real headache.
  • Is that your final answer, Luke?
  • 3 plus or minus 3.5*root 13 I think...
  • I remember those days.... :)
  • Ha! It's really sad that I could solve that problem fifteen years ago no problem, yet now, I'd probably need help.
  • Haha. After read this strip, I was compelled to solve it. Can't believe I can still do algebra. :)
