I see. I am mostly alone, myself, so I do not know what it's like to share space with anyone. It can be nice, but even I become weary after awhile.
[oh god she didn't say no immediately, he likes her a little bit more already.]
Yes, there are. Most humans tend to shy away from the mere mention of a catch-all term, so I thought it more prudent to ask that way first. I love all forms of math, and science as well-- naturally, I am inclined towards more advanced studies such as calculus and trigonometry and the like, but formulaic and straight-forward practices such as algebra also have a place in my heart.
I will have to suggest that to them someday. It doesn't bode well to have me active to the point of exhaustion, after all.
X is not a literal living entity, but a representation of a missing variable within the given formula. For example, if you were asked to find the sum of six and and seven, X would represent the answer, which is unknown. The representative of this answer is not strictly limited to X, however. X is simply chosen most often because of its distinct appearance and, if the formula calls for another variable, it is often paired with Y because of their proximity in the alphabet. If you so desired, you could replace X with A or B-- or any other letter, really.

What kind of math? Aren't there lots?

Why do you have to keep finding X? Does it keep getting lost? I've always wondered about that!
