Yep, that’s Rajon… teaching math. Today he tweeted:

Twitter / RajonRondo: Teaching freshman algebra with … via kwout

Which of course, inspired a series of “Good Will Hunting” jokes. Of course, they apply, since I can totally see Rondo doing this (some NSFW language)

I honestly have no idea if the math on the board is correct. I’d rather write 2,000 words on someone solving that math problem than actually try solving it. Math and I get along about as well as Rondo and Dwyane Wade.

But seriously… it’s nice to see Rondo take some time and spend it with the kids.

The answers are 0 and 4…. Teach them some multivariable calculus next.

  might want to go back to high school algebra before u start with calculus, yikes…

  If commenting on this piece is a way to show that you’re able in algebra, this is the textbook way how not to do it

Wait, I seriously suck at math. 3(x-7) +5 = 21 … (3x – 21) + 5 = 21 …. 3x – 21 + 5 = 21 … 3x – 16 = 21 …. 3x = 21 + 16 … 3x = 37 … x = 37/3 … 12.333333 … Dammit, what I am doing wrong here? Love Rondo as Good Will Hunting

  3(x-7)+5=26 … 3x-21+5=26 … 3x-16=26 … 3x=42 … x=14
  
  You messed up the equation in the first place. It’s not equal to 21, it’s equal to 26. Even then you did it absolutely correct, just with the wrong values.

    Whew! Insecurity defeated! Thanks!
