We're the anti-meme community where the joke is that there isn't one, and by explaining that, we've ruined the whole thing, but we all find the collective misery hilarious.

The music of comedy is more important than the joke itself.

Follow the instance rules please, this is a lovely instance.

I did, but after 22 years I forgot how to solve algebra without being given at least 1 of the variables. 🥺

But also I still dont know how I would prove it's a line even if I got the x+y=w+z part. I could say 1+2=1+2. So 3. How is 3 a line? I have no idea. 3 is a number not a line. 😩

Unless... 3 is a squiggly line? 🤔

Edit: Bit disappointed nobody came to shit all over my math skills. Especially since halfway through typing the comment, I forgot the second half of the problem. 🤣

You do have a number, it's just not written down! It's that a full circle is 360 degrees

Let x + y = d and w + z = e for easier writing
We know d + e = 360 degrees (a full circle)
d = e, so 2d = 360, so d = 180 degrees
The angle AOB = d, and d = 180 degrees, so AB is a straight line

The actual maths is really easy, the bit that I assume is tripping you up is the realisation that you have more information than the words of the question
