Again, please give an example of when you specifically used something you learned in algebra class. If I see it, I might recognize how I'm using it.

Yes! I use algebra when I am modifying a recipe for something I am cooking. I also use algebra when I am painting, or taking pictures with my camera. I use algebra when I decorate a room, or a piece of art. I also use algebra when I am designing websites.

I guess maybe I'm just not recognizing it. I mean, I know I'm using geometry on a regular basis. But, I don't see anything really related to algrebra or even calculus.
Give me an example.

As a matter of fact, yes! I use algebra a lot in real life! I'm amazed at how often I use it. I don't work for NASA either. LOL
