x^3=125

x^3=(1+2)5

x^~~3~~=~~3~~5

x=5

[–] vxx@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

x⁴=625

x⁴=(6-2)5

x~~⁴~~=~~4~~5

x=5

I love Facebook math.

TELL ME I'M WRONG.

you're wrong. x = -5 is also a solution lmao

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

2 + 2 = 4

2 x 2 = 4

3 + 3 = 6

Therefore 3 x 3 = 6

X^2=625

X=65

Holy shit it works

[–] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 3 days ago

X=25 actually. We were wrong about the pattern; obviously the square cancels with the first digit

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 35 points 3 days ago

Sometimes it be like that. Somes it don't.

Is she setting up a silencer?

[–] LOLseas@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And not using proper safety technique. Notice what's in front of the business-end of the silencer. Yup.

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Maybe she hates that index finger

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 15 points 2 days ago

She is about to silence someone, that's for sure.

[–] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 7 points 2 days ago

She's taking it off to send a message to the rest of the class

This reminds me of a maths test I had when we had just been taught to calculate how many m2 an area was.

I seem to recall seeing an example of the formula where the answer was 2 m2, ok, looking at the test there was a question that had answer to be 6 m2, but me trying to be clever, though that the 2 in m2 represented the value of the answer, wrote 6 m6.

I failed that test....

That's why you have to do more than one (1) homework

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

this is some galaxy brain move.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Okay, now try it with x²=16!

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 11 points 2 days ago

x^2=16!

x^2=20922789888000

x^~~2~~=~~2~~0922789888000

x=922789888000

[–] Pringles@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

x = 5 in this case as well, unless you can post a mathematical proof it is not.

[–] LanguageIsCool@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Plus we already found x once in the meme.

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

X= D6. Simple.

the left 2 is smaller than the right 2, so the answer is actually

x = (size) 5

But the size is represented by a whitespace symbol. Still, that's gonna propagate and totally flummox a future calculation on that x

Dammit! That's genius!

Mario Maker players all know x=9
