Algebra

The branch of mathematics concerned with the manipulation of mathematical operations, variables, sets, groups, and fields. There are two main branches of algebra.

Elementary algebra is all about functions, combinatorics, and certain calculus concepts. The quadratic formula, the Binomial Theorem, and limits are all found here.

Abstract algebra has a lot to do with groups and set manipulation. Linear algebra, the study of vectors, can be found here as well.
The Abel-Ruffini Theorem states that there is no general formula to find the roots of a polynomial equation of degree 5 (quintic) or higher. This is an elementary algebra statement, but is proved using Galois Theory.

That One Guy From Your Algebra Test, you already know who that guy is. Often named something along the lines of Ralph. They have superhuman abilities, often doing things like trading with other similar people. Many times, they will be buying 87 watermelons, and/or loaning/combining a certain number of watermelons with their friend who has a similar amount of watermelons. You may be asked to find the total number of watermelons they have combined.
That One Guy From Your Algebra Test:

Ralph has 69 watermelons, Sarah has 420 watermelons, if Ralph gives Sarah 40 of his watermelons, how many will she have?
John is walking to his friend's house. His friend lives 800 kilometers away. If John walks at a speed of 16 kilometers per second, how long will it take him to get to his friend's house? (leave your answer in seconds).
Alex is 30 years old. Alexa is 3000 years old if Amy's age is the mean of both of their ages, is she of legal age to purchase and conduct a Kenworth T680 Semi?
Fredrick is 30 feet tall, Enrique is 94 billion light-years tall, If Enrique stands up on planet Earth, how many galaxy clusters will he pass through before creating a supermassive blackhole?
