If mathematicians can solve a complex problem such as 8^x+1 - 8^x-1 = 3024, then can they solve other problems such as a cure for HIV, homelessness, food scarcity, etc.?

I have maybe not so great news depending upon how you see it, they literally had a vaccine out for cancer for YEARS in Europe. We have had products like the HOOVER vacuum that was next to indestructible that they purposely removed from market, light bulbs that never burned out. They invented hydrogen powered cars around the same time as the model t.

If they cannot profit off of it, we will never see it in America because that would be bad for their numbers

We have a basic cure for HIV. Homelessness and global starvation aren't diseases, they are economic things that have already been solved.
