linear equations

23 so i have a problem understand high school algebra so what? every teacher ive ever had has confused me, sometimes they make sense.

It's cool... I can't dance.

neither can i.

silasraven, I know you don't want to hear this but math (at this level), is a very linear and EASY subject. Meaning you can not move forward unless you understand what came before. Each bit is dependent upon the previous bit. You have asked for help with two linear equations. This means you do not have the concept of linear equations, arithmetic properties and manipulation of variable equations.

You can not cram for math. PLEASE save yourself the trouble and start at the beginning of a beginning Algebra book and work each chapter before you begin the next. That is the only way. The reason you have trouble with math is because you are trying to move beyond a point you do not understand. So you need to back up and get the basics down. Go back to where Math makes sense. That maybe basic mathematics instead of algebra but where ever that point is you MUST start there and understand each concept before you can move forward.

If you do this you'll find that suddenly math is easy and you will understand it.

^^^^the problem with that is i cant go back. its in the form of packets and we are out for the holiday. im thinking that X is up to me to put on the graph as i want. i got the previous part.which was a table they give you X which was--2,0,2 and you are asked to find y. with y=3x i understood that and got them mostly right. like i said i think the next part is up to me to choose what X is supposed to be.

I'm thinking that we're doing his homework for him.

It's the only way Silas. You have to get the basics down before you can progress. Otherwise, you're going to spend the entire course floundering and most likely end up dropping it due to a failing grade. Get thee to a tutor as soon as possible.

i rated this abortion of a thread one star before i even read it. now that i read it, i am validated in my assumption.
