Fuck, Saint Patricks Day Parade Is Cancelled! Can You Help Save the Day by Solving These Four Math Problems?

Did you hear the news that the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade is cancelled this year? Man, this really sucks. If only there was a way to get things back to normal. Hang on...didn’t you say you were taking Algebra II this year? That’s some pretty advanced stuff.

Oh my gosh, can you believe this? I just talked to the King of COVID-19, and he says he’ll pull back his viral army and let the parade happen! On one condition...that you solve these four math problems for him. He’s wise in many ways, but math is confusing for him and he needs a little extra support outside the classroom. Can you help save the day by helping him out and solving these four math problems?
