Figured I'd make this thread here. It's clear that only those intelligent enough to find this place should ever be allowed to see this thread.

You see, mankind has figured out many, many things, but there is one equation that we have never been able to figure out, leaving a huge gap in our understanding of space and time. Mankind has struggled for years trying to figure it out. We all know what this incomprehensible question is:

8 + 1 = x

Ten years ago, I devoted my whole life to solving this problem. I have read a lots of books on it and even written one or two. I don't remember which. Now, together, we will solve this problem and enlighten the world. Post your theories on what it could be and why and we'll talk it out.

The answer is Cirno

I think the answer is x. I used the following equation to solve this:

8 + 1 = x

As you can see, the product of the sum of 8 and 1 is clearly x. I have also tried this with various other numbers, and found that 2 + 2 = x, 0 / 0 = x and 42 ^ 42 = x. Using this solid evidence I have deducted that therefor everything is x, and we live in the x universe (Or xooniverse, as I like to call it.) They say that in the land of the xless, the one x man is king and I like to agree. We should strive not to find the value of this x, as it is everything in our universe. We must strife to control this x, and harness this x, as x will usher us into a grand new utopia where every x is had and the x fountians shall flow wild for the people of the xooniverse to drink their fill.

The entire universe makes sense now.

Thank you.

...thank YOU for your response. Now I have something to do other than counting numbers like a child!

I'll test your Algebra skillz.

If 3y-4+2x=3x+8, then what is m? What is b? What is x? Or y? If this is a trick question then tell me the correct answer along with a graph.
This isn't hard if you are smart.

3y-4+2x=3x+8

3y-x-4=8

3y-x=12 3y=12+x x=3y-12

As we know 3y=12+x, we can substitute the 3y in the 'x=3y-12' equation for '12+x'

x=12+x-12

x=x

Solved it. x is obviously equal to x.

Yes, this is correct. Although not how I normally solve it.
Normal would be 3y=x+12

Yes, but why not figure out what y is? {y=1/3x+4}

SIGH.

What do you not get about this law? Just because it doesn't (specifically) apply to mathematics doesn't mean it is useless.

Wrong.
m=1/3
b=4
y=1/3x+4
x=3y-12

I sense your fail at trying to look cool. X is neither x, nor 3y-12, but in this situation, it IS 3y-12, except that's not how you use slop-intercept form. Again, y=1/3x+4.
And no, x cannot equal x even with an undefined y.
