You're right, it doesn't. "Find the value of x" would be *much* better. But 
that's just for beginners. Once they learn how to "Find the value of x", 
then it should be trivial to learn that "Solve for x" is "Another way to 
say...the same thing you're already doing."

Along similar lines, my 4th grade teacher used to assign homework and then 
say "But that's for tomorrow". So that evening I would do some *other* 
homework (if any) because that obviously *wasn't today's fucking homework*, 
right? Said *said* it was *tomorrow's*. Then the next day, she would bitch 
and moan that I didn't do the homework she had *said* was "for tomorrow". 
Her excuse: "Yea, it was 'Due for tomorrow'."

"DUE FOR TOMORROW"?!?

That's NOT FUCKING ENGLISH! There IS NO "due for"!! Period!

It's either "due {time and/or place}" or it's nothing! "Due" doesn't take 
any damn preposition, it takes an *object*! "Due for" is grammatical fucking 
gibberish! There's no such damn thing! So why would anyone ever say "for 
tomorrow" when they could just as easily say what they fucking mean: "due 
tomorrow".

It *would* have been somewhat excusable except...She was a native English 
speaker!

Stupid fucking bitch.
