You're definitely right in saying most people don`t see what algebra is good for. But by the same token there is such a fear of math out there that when people encounter a problem algebra could solve they tend to avoid it. They do this by either not concerning themselves with the answer or relying on guesstimates.
* If I'm coming home from work down a road that I usually travel at 60 MPH but traffic is going at 20 MPH, when should I say I'll make it home?
* I have only so much money to spend for gifts this christmas. I went to spend amount twice as much on the kids than on the adults.
Everyday we encounter life's little word problems and things are so much easier if we are willing to use the tools to tackle them.

Let's analyze it. Hmmm, it appears to be a cubed number. What? No!... It's... It's...
6 cubed or "6... 6... 6... the Lychel of the Beast!" (apologies to Iron Maiden)

D'oh!! I pooched the 4th grade math on that one. My bad.
