YX-X is not Y

Yes it is. You see, when Voyager 1 left our solar system last year, we found that our model of solar system isn't just about right. That model was based on calculations and observation from a far like everything else space related. Something was clearly missing.

In this case we don't see + between Y and X. If we place it between Y and X

Y + X - X = Y

equation is true.

Kids, always put math symbols between variables. Obviously Y * X - X is not Y, I can agree to that. You can use a dot or x to point out that some multiplication is going on, I don't discriminate.

Leave it to the math nerd.

YX-X=Y

This is Y*X-X=Y
which is X*(Y-1)=Y
so X=Y/(Y-1)

Oh wait, we were solving for Y.

Ok, Y=X/(X-1)

Why? Because Y*X-X=Y
and Y*X-X-Y=0
then Y*X-Y=X
so Y(X-1)=X
therefore Y=X/(X-1)

Simple, yes? So what have we learned from all this? Say it with me class. "Cheese is good!" visitors can't see pics , please register or login

In algebra YX always means Y*X, it never means Y+X

I know that. But so far I haven't met proper mathematician who doesn't type *, x or dot between variables. Also try to multiply without symbol in any programming language.

It means what it means, but it can also be interpreted differently as something is missing because some lazy ass person don't want to multiply properly.

Therefore forget about that bullshit "rule" and place "*" between variables. Always.

Also, for similar reason in programming books you can find do nothing before ;

; is sufficient but sometimes in process of printing, semicolon can be badly printed and because of that code does something else.

Well, I guess that means I don't know my math? Anyone who is a 'mathematician' knows what XY means. If you start typing XxY, then shit gets confusing. Is that X*X*Y, and you simply forgot to capitalize the second? Is it multiplication (X times Y)? Outside of programming languages, "*" is almost never used, simply because it is not actually a math symbol. If you try and type up any professional report using an asterisk, people will laugh at you, or if it is being submitted for grading, you will most certainly lose points. Same goes for using an x for multiplication. It is too easy to confuse with another variable. Therefore, the only acceptable forms of writing X times Y would be XY (or I suppose X(Y), although you rarely see that, since it could be confused as the function X of Y), or X dot Y. X dot Y may be used in the most 'professional' of reports, if only because it takes a lot more time to find the proper "dot" symbol unless you have a newer Microsoft Word program.

Tl;dr: You must have not met any true mathematicians, or you have only met some code junkies, since * is only acceptable in programming.

Rules of galaxy and lifeless is proves all sexists would be ultimately proven that woman can potentially grow into man. Similarly man can reduce to woman, if he loses some part of ‘Y’. remark should be answered with one equation(MAN IS THE EXTENSION OF WOMAN)But look at the man. He is something more. He is X and Y. That means, he is essentially an ‘X ’plus something extra. What do I mean by that! Man is already a woman that is ‘X’, plus something extra. Does that mean first step towards manhood is womanhood? Now let’s talk in mathematical language. Here is the equation, Man = 22 autosomes + X + Y Woman= 22 autosomes + X + X= 22 autsomes + X (by logic not by mathematics). . . Man= (22 autosomes + X) + Y= Woman + Y (by mathematics, simply) So man is everything that woman is, plus something extra. Now the extra thing is not qualitatively different, but quantitatively. Hence Y here must be somewhat like X + 1, X+2 or X+ 3 or something like that.

what is this?

X is not a normal female , XX is . Man is not the fucking extension of woman , in fact X+0 can survive by itself , but Y+0 can't. X chromosome is the source of life. So let me fix it ;
man is the extension of woman man can't exist without woman. in your logic.

Quote
Man = 22 autosomes + X + Y Woman= 22 autosomes + X + X= 22 autsomes + X (by logic not by mathematics)

Dear sir, are you retarded?

Male= 22+Y Female= 22+X not 22+XX nor 22+XY

I suggest you to be more careful in the biology class.
