Welcome to my nightmare

Having spent years of my life in remedial algebra, you’d think I’d gotten somewhere.

Not so.
At no point during the excruciating hours studying looking at equations, did I feel much progress in the algebraic area of my life. It just never ‘clicked.’

When it comes to algebra, I believe you either got ‘it’, or you don’t.
Not only did I never catch on, but neither did my parents or siblings. Clearly, this is a genetic thing.
Or it’s a left/right brain issue.
they say you’re either a math or english person.
I agree.
What do you think?

(x – 2)(x + 2) = x2 – 4

check, please.
