I can't do algebra, but I can work out simple things like that.
There's the thing...algebra is only simple in its basic form...take one of the examples I gave in my last post..

Most schoolkids know that to find the volume of a box you need to multiply the width by the depth by the length or in maths terms V=WxDxL, could you work out the depth if you were given the volume, length and width....because anyone that can do basic algebra could. If you don't dig that septic tank deep enough you are going to be in serious waste product
