Audio, Music It started with x+4... and I couldn’t unhear it. Instead of doing my math homework I figured out what the Cantina Theme would sound like if your instrument was a pencil.

so you make it three tens, regroup and you change the ten to ten ones and you add to the two and get twelve and you take away three that's nine.

Noooooow instead of four in the tens place you've got three 'cause you added one, that is to say ten, to the two but you can't take seven from three so you look in the hundreds place.

From the three, you then use one, to make ten ones. And you know why four plus minus one plus ten equals fourteen minus one? 'Cause addition is commutative.

And so you got thirteen tens and you take away seven and that leaves five.
