1(x)+5-(-43)=-47x?

1(x) sounds pointless enough, since no-one who would be making an equation would ever put it like that.

Besides, there are lots of jobs where you will have some use for your math skills. For instance, if you're an engineer, you'd have to calculate a lot of things, such as the electricity in circuits. If you're going to be an arthitect, it's vital to know some formulae's in order to get the angles of a church ceiling right.

Programmers, and even designers working on a computer will need some heavy math skills in order to create something useful. So no, you will have a lot of use for the things you need in school as well, whether you like it or not.
