You do. Probably every day. If you learn basic algebra, you grasp the concept of how quantities of different variables add together to give a total quantity.
For example, if you go the cinema and spend £8 or $, on a ticket and 3 bottles of coke and you know the ticket was £5 then it follows that the coke cost £3, and £1 each bottle. Sure you might not write down x:price of coke, and 5 +3x=8, therfore x =1. But the concept is there and if you hadn't done algebra then you wouldn't have that concept. (And don't say that's just addition as it's not-it's actually algebra!)
This is only 1 example, there are millions. So next time you hear someone whining about algebra you can explain how they use it in everyday life.

What is the difference between elementary algebra and Boolean algebra?
Here are the basic differences:elementary algebra:- Domain is the real numbers- Uses the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication- Uses the laws of associativity, commutativity, and distributivityBoolean algebra:- Domain is only two numbers- Uses the operations of conjunction, disjunction, and negation (AND, OR, NOT)- Uses the laws of associativity, commutativity, distributivity, absorption, and complements
How do you use algebra to find an formula?
Algebra is a branch of mathmatics that uses formulae to calculate unknowns
Who uses algebra the most?
As by "who" i assume you mean what profession. Algebra is used a lot in banking, economics, and doctors who need formulas. But overall algebra is mostly used by college leveled advanced algebra teachers.
