*shrug* When you go from "5-4x = x^2" to "5-4 = x^2/x", you're officially clueless.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbmxqfGkg1Q Edit: You got the x=1 part right by accident. This equation also has another solution: x=-5. What about that one?

I know, it's just it's about the regular price of the HD, which I considered high. Oh well, I just bought the HD at the half price deal (online with in-store pickup).

SD cards have tons of uses, so it's unlikely that it will be wasted. I have two still cameras that use SD cards and my Earthmate GPS uses one as well. For MicroSD you can always get an adapter that will make it work as a full-size SD card. If you have devices that use both, getting MicroSDs...

I've always liked the Contour better than the GoPro. Now that the price has dropped I want the GPS which can stream video to a phone, which is still expensive. Maybe I should just get the HD while the price is low. lol

No. The problem is that you're trying to "prove" your answer (i.e. your preferred ordering of arithmetic operations), using exactly that order. If you do the same thing in the same way twice, you are obviously going to get the same thing. The second attempt does not add any credibility to the...

I already explained that. The original problem is in the ordering of arithmetic operations. In order to evaluate the expression you need to follow a certain order. In order to solve an equation based on the original expression you also need to follow a certain order. As long as the order you...

Could you explain your motives for putting x anywhere and trying to solve for it?

Re: Rider Down RIP rider. :(

Evidence? lol... :p

The important thing is---did the idiot riders wave while zig-zagging? Are you supposed to do that? What's the zig-zagging etiquette?

48/2(9+3) is not an equation by itself. The problem is in evaluating an expression. Your idea with substituting x somewhere in it and making it into an equation by putting right hand side of 288 makes no sense, since you're still faced with the same problem of interpreting the left hand side...

This is worse than wrong.

I was going to say "kick in the groin", but I'd settle for this ^, hehe.
