I Don't Understand How Someone Would Ever Think to Do This

EDIT: I was fully aware that the lines are the same line when I was trying to solve the problem.

Hello! I was practicing for the Algebra portion of the SAT and stumbled upon this delightfully rage inducing question. The rationale given doesn't quite make sense to me. I don't see how anyone would think to solve for x first, especially when we usually want to put y in front (because of y = mx + b). Does anybody who has gotten a problem similar to this have any idea of how to approach this kind of thing in the future?

Can someone explain to me what the SAT's thought process even is?

How do I even avoid making this mistake?

Help! Jaw Tension Issues!

Hi! I am a self-taught singer with no access to a teacher. I realized that I have a lot of trouble with my jaw tension (you can definitely hear me get tired near the end lol). Does anyone have any advice for alleviating jaw tension while singing higher notes in their chest voice?

Trusting in Your Power When The 3D Seems so Big

Something I realized while scrolling through people's posts is that they are usually in a state of agony. This led me to question why they would be doing this. After all, they seem to know that "everything is them pushed out" and that they hold all the power in their universe. This then led me to wonder why it is that they just- can't believe. Or they are scared to.

Then it hit me- all of us who have struggled are like innocent children, scared and tentative. We believe that the world is simply so big. The world is so big, so indomitable that our little world of imagination couldn't possibly measure up to the big wide world. We are like starry-eyed children, putting their goals on a pedestal and naive enough to think the world is an unstoppable monster.

For those who are struggling, I reccomend finding a way to get your goals off a pedestal- really getting it off a pedestal. Not saying you'll get it off the pedestal but still fearing the idea in your 4D.

Hey! I've been trying really heard to learn how to mix for a good long while, but there's always a problem. At the top, I can feel proper closure, but it always sounds weird and too head voice-y at the bottom. Like in the video, I can do the exercises fine and go bratty and nasally and ugly but when I put it on the lyrics it always goes HORRIBLY wrong.

It either sounds thick and weird, too nasal, too light, or some horrendous amalgamation of a multitude of problems I don't know how to fix. This is an example of too light. Every vocal coach I've seen says to go ugly and nasally to find your mix, and it does work on the higher notes, but I always end up screaming in the B5(4?)-D5 range. I can't go to chest voice there and sometimes I do access this chest mix there, but it's never there for me reliably and it never allows me to transition to a lighter mix when I need it to.

Does someone possess the secret? How should I use this nasally, bratty sound? Am I even doing the nasally, bratty sound correctly? Thank you redditors!
