'Inefficiency on your side (or on your part) does not mean emergency on my side (or part)' is a well-considered way of saying that just because a person has made a stupid mistake - been inefficient - it doesn't mean someone else - who didn't make the mistake - is obliged to rush around trying to fix it.

The concept may be expressed even more neatly, more succinctly: 'Your inefficiency is not my emergency'.

For example: I sell you a computer, and spend a lot of time with you, explaining how things work and especially, because you've asked, how to avoid Computer Viruses.

Two days later you ring me in a panic. You've ignored everything I've told you, opened an email from an unknown source and followed its link to an unsafe site, bypassing your computer's message that the site is unsafe. Now your computer is infected, and you want me to drop everything and rush to your office to get you out of this mess.

Your problem has been caused by inefficiency on your part, not mine. You want me to treat your problem as my own emergency, which it isn't. If I decide to treat the matter as urgent and help you out straight away, I'm doing you a favor. If I don't, it's because I've no obligation nor desire to pick up the pieces scattered by your personal failings.

What does n mean in 2n plus 1 equals 22?

2n + 1 = 22 Take 1 from the left side of the equal side and move it to the right side. To do this subtract 1 from the left side and on the right side 2n + 1 - 1 = 22 -1 2n = 21 Then divide both sides by 2 in order to isolate n. 2n / 2 = 21 /2 n = 21/2 or 10.5 Tada! The answer is 21/2 or 10.5.
