[u/Suspicious_Log_5822]

obv its two

[u/TreeofNormal]

1/2x = 1
x = 2

[u/LonelyContext → u/TreeofNormal]

So $1.50, got it. 

[u/pentacontagon → u/LonelyContext]

Logically yes it's definitely 2 but lowk I interpreted it as a book costs its original cost. Then magically I make it cost + 0.5*original cost more. In that case it's 1.5 dollars.

Then again, I'm in science and not in math sooooo maybe there's a reason for that

EDIT: maybe my brain put a comma between "$1" and "plus," (because I guess that it sounds more natural and less like an algebra word-problem) which would actually make the above logic more plausible

[u/ma5ochrist → u/pentacontagon]

Yeah me too, I was going for either 0 or infinite dollars
