This song is available on Mr. Shaw's Math Album
When you have a problem like x + 2
And you don’t know x you say BOOHOO
And you don’t know x you say BOOHOOOOOOOO
Let us say that x is 5
You Evaluate! Substitute and Simplify!
Evaluate! Substitute and Simplify!
x is 5, 5+2, shout it up to heaven, answer is SEVEN!
When you have a problem like x – 2 volume swell
And you don’t know x you say BOOHOO
And you don’t know x you say BOOHOOOOOOOOOO
Let us say that x is 5
You Evaluate! Substitute and Simplify!
Evaluate! Substitute and Simplify!
X is 5, 5-2, Everybody squee, the answer is threeeeee!
When you see 3, then you see x,
And you don’t know x, you say What the heck?!
And you don’t know x, you say What the heck?!
If you don’t know why, just multiply!
No, don’t you cry, just multiply!
Three times x, x is 25, say it alive, seventy-fiiiiive!
When you see a line with an x above, and a two below,
This ain’t no show
I say this ain’t no show (this ain’t no show)
I say this ain’t no show (this ain’t no show)
Don’t run and hide, just d - divide
Give it a try, just divide
Evaluate! Substitute and Simplify
Evaluate! Substitute and Simplify
If X is eight, knockin’ at the door, cut it in half and you get FOUUUURRR!!
Evaluate! Substitute and simplify! (do 4x times, then dead stop)
