Searching for X

I'm a detective. Missing cases is my speciality. One day I use got a interesting one. The man came into my office, he was a math teacher. He told me that 2x+6=10, however the problem was he couldn't find X.
I got one the job right away. I looked all sorts of places where X was seen last, the book, notes, even tried to find it on the white board, but it had been erased. After doing some more digging I found the solution and I knew exactly what to do. I looked once again at the equation that contained the missing X
2x+6=10
I subtracted the six from ten and ended up with:
2x=4
Then I divided the four by two, and found X
2x=4/2
X=2
I found it! I had found X!!!!! I reported my finding to the math teacher who thanked me profusely, I said it was no problem and part of my job. I put the case file into my desk drawer with the others, another mystery solved!

......anyway that's how I do my math problems.

hahaha! You're so clever!

It must take you a really long time to do your homework.

Plus, the other people in your class probably wonder why taking tests is such an emotional experience for you.
