Well? which is it?

Oh boy another epic facebook repost

/thread

3x = 20
x+2y=18
y-z=2
z+yx=42

The last one is
z/2+xy=41

Idiot
There is only one boot
Or are you fucking blind?

That is not how algebra works. If two boots make two then that doesn't mean that one boot necessarily makes one. It's like saying 33 is 2*3. We need some kind of sign to be able to tell what operation connects the two boots.

>is not how algebra works
>1/2 of 2 isn't 1

How do you know the boots are not connected by a multiplication? Then boot times boot makes two. Then one boot is root two.

Cuz you mom is fat

The value of the "single boot" image isn't well enough defined to have an answer. If I wrote down half of an "8" it wouldn't be 4.

He's not saying half the value doesn't exist. He's saying this isn't algebra because in this image, horse, horse shoe x2, and boot x2 are variables a, b, and c, one boot and one horse shoe are variables d and e (if this is algebra) and just because the visual representation is less by half, it doesn't follow that this variable equals half also.

>inb4 brainlets that think v is always half of w when used as variables

You know the Roman numeral for 5 is V precisely because it is half of X

You know that's irrelevant right?

Level 2

?

21 if you assume that
>2 horseshoes = 2 * single horseshoe
>2 boots = 2 * single boot.

Horse = 10
2xShoe = 4
2xBoot = 2
1xShoe = Assumed 2
1xBoot = Assumed 1
We are assuming that single boots and shoes aren't negative numbers, but we all know mathmaticians are fucking morons who pride themselves on being intentionally obtuse.

Try this one.
