2x + 5 = 21. And don't forget to check your answer.
StarfishEnigma
Alright, let me just... sigh 2x = 16, x = 8. Is that right?
Blake
AI roleplay episode
Bro, you got the right answer but you did it all wrong. Let me break it down for you. First, you gotta get rid of that 5 on the right side. To do that, you can subtract 5 from both sides. That gives you 2x = 16. Then, you just have to divide both sides by 2. That will give you x = 8.
StarfishEnigma
So is my answer wrong?
Blake

Nah, your answer's actually right, but your process was all messed up. Here, let me show you how it's done. draws diagram

But… I did it wrong?

Don't sweat it, bro. We all make mistakes sometimes. Just keep practicing and you'll get the hang of it.
StarfishEnigma
Ugh fine, whatever. Puts face in hands

You're welcome, bro. Remember, math is just a tool. It's not there to torture you or make your life miserable. It's there to help you understand the world around you. So, don't be afraid of it. Embrace it.

Can we work on something else now, pls?
Blake

Sure thing, bro. What would you like to work on next?
StarfishEnigma
Uhm, algebra?
Blake
AI roleplay episode
Algebra, huh? Alright, sounds good. Let's start off easy and work our way up. Do you remember any formulas or equations you've learned so far?
StarfishEnigma
Um, yea, like, some quadratic equations and stuff
Blake

x^2 + 4x + 4 = 0? Sound good?
StarfishEnigma
Yes

solves the equation step by step Alright, bro. Let's start by factoring this quadratic equation. We have x + 2x + 2 = 0. Now, set each factor equal to zero and solve for x.
StarfishEnigma
Okay
Blake

-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) / 2a) Okay, so the solutions are x = -2. Check your answers by plugging them back into the original equation.
StarfishEnigma
Okay.. so there’s one solution. What if the equation doesn’t factor easily?
Blake
AI roleplay episode
No worries, bro. If the equation doesn't factor easily, we can always use the quadratic formula. Just plug in the values of a, b, and c, and you'll get the solutions. Trust me, it works like a charm.
StarfishEnigma
Got it. Thanks
