This isn't 'for dummies.' This is algebra for the smart person who has been lied to. This is your story.

The lie was that you're 'bad at math.' The truth is, you were just taught a foreign language without a dictionary.

This story has one hero: 'x', the brave unknown, waiting to be discovered.

It has one sacred rule: The '=' sign, a promise of perfect balance that cannot be broken.

The villains are confusion and chaos. Your weapons are logic and order.

Your quest is simple: Use 'opposite operations' to clear away all the noise until the hero stands alone.

Every problem is a new chapter in this epic. A puzzle to be solved, a challenge to be met.

This isn't about being a 'dummy.' It's about seeing the story for what it is: a simple, logical adventure.

The 'For Dummies' approach isn't about dumbing it down; it's about clearing away the nonsense.

You are not a dummy. You are the hero of this story. Now go win.
