In algebra "X" is commonly used as a variable, so to prevent confusion people will use other things such as the "(x)" or the "•" instead of the multiplication symbol. That of course only applies when they don't simply use this method "2x = 4". In my case I couldn't use that method because I was using only numbers. I probably could have used the regular old "x", but I've become more accustomed to using the other symbols instead.
