Hey man Ive got the same issue w/ math. I have similar iq rating (even though I think that those tests arent very true/fair) and I can NOT do basic algebra to save my life. I can figure it out as long as I dont have to move crap around. I always forget how to do it. Formulas? Forget it.

To solve that problem though:
Move the 7 to the other side of the = sign, making it -
so
-2x=15-7 -> -2x=8 (keep the - sign making it negative)
Move the 2 over, by division
-x=8/2
-x=4 aka x=-4

(holy shit I did it! I am surprised......that is right, isnt it?)
