Math Question

[TheHuntress143]

Do you know a website that can help you with like math...especially Math revolving with Algebra?? And that could explain and how to do the math problems without having a really hard time.

[spyke]

I can do that,I'm making a 98 in 8th grade math/Algebra. What do you need help with?

[ELEKTRA]

lol yah 8th/Alegbra I'm over ehre in 10th grade figuring out Alegbra2 but they stuck me in Algebra/Geometry class. um u have a calculator by that i mean graphing calculator

[Mor Cartel]

Well, what do you wanna know? I'm in Algebra 1, so ask away!

[Impulse]

I'm in Algebra, but I'm a freshman. if you have aol, on the welcome page it should say "homework help" on it. click on that and then you can click on what subject. that's what helps me.

[Peaches]

Okey I don't have any websites but I have gone through Algerbra in 8th grade and Intermediate Algebra(which I believe is similar to Algebra 2 in my school) in 9th, I am in 10th now so you can ask me as well if you want. I would maybe-focus in on the maybe-be able to help you:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

www.purplemath.com is the BEST! Helped me through Alg I last year.

[TheHuntress143]

okay thanks, if you want to know what problems I'm having is equation problems like for an example 2x+4-5x=4x+5 like those kind of problems, cuz the addition and subtraction mixes me up, like I'm not sure if I'm doing right or wrong

[Orcat]

Hey huntress143, I'm getting an A in math. PM me if I can help, OK? I'm in Applied 2 (easier form, but I'm still in the top of my class right now), but I know algebra.

I did very well in algebra even though I hate math, if you have a question, I'll try to answer it, if I can remember that far back!

[roguephoenix]

I found one called www.algebrahelp.com. You simply enter your equation and they take you through each step on how to solve it.

For the problems your looking at ,though, just remember what you do to one side you must do to the other. (like if you subtract 3 from one side you have to subtract 3 from the other side). Try to get all the x variables on one side and the numbers on the other.

Though in college now, I was on a math team in high school(where we did nothing but answer math problems for fun-crazy I know:rolleyes: ) and I've had every class from simple algebra to calculus, so if you need any help just PM me. I tutor my friends all the time so I can explain things pretty well. Good Luck!

[TheHuntress143]

Thanks a bunch, that site helps me and I sorta have it clear..like basically do the problem from the left side to right side.

This is the format that I was taught:

2x+4-5x=4x+5
-3x+4=4x+5 -I added the 2x and the -5x and got -3x.
+3x +3x -I get the -3x by bring it across as a positive.
---------------
4=7x+5 -The -3x and the +3x cancel each other out. 3x+4x=7x.
-5 -5 -Now bring the 5 over.
---------
-1=7x -You know the drill now. + and - 5's wipe out.
-------
7 7 -Now to get rid of the 7, you divide 7x by 7.

-1
-- = x Your answer is -1
7 --
7

Get it? If you need help, PM me.
BTW- We had Math Quaterlies- Got highest grade in my class! ^^

[TheHuntress143]

oooooo I somewhat totally get it...this can be helpful for like upcoming midterms...:D

[tnewebmaster]

You could also PM me.... I'm pretty good at Algebra now that I'm in Geometry. I passed (High B's) with the worst teacher in the world (if you've heard me rant about Mr. Potter....) and I now I understand it. I should be able to help :D

[huntress18]

well, i can help you...one of my friends is becoming a future math teacher ...just pm me.....

[TheHuntress143]

I have another math question, by the way I don't have my math book...I forgot what this type of problem it is called, it goes like this A=P(1+% (I forgot this part is) and divide from the percent) then N squared, something like that, I forgot how to get % divide by either monthly, daily, yearly ect. Does anyone know what I'm talking about...

[roguephoenix]

Whoa....that's really confusing, but it sounds familiar. Sounds like you're compounding interest or something. (Ex. I put so much money in the bank and iterest is added at a certain percent based on whether it is calculated monthly or yearly). Does the problem read like this:

A= P (1 + r/n) nt (nt being to the nt power, r being %, n being year, month, or day)

Is that what you're talking about? I wouldn't know for sure unless I saw the actual problem, but from your description that's what it sounds like. :shrug:

[Mor Cartel]

Er... you lost me there.

[TheHuntress143]

yeah, I finally today at school how to figure it on my own...I kinda know what I did wrong is I didn't plus 1, anywayz thanks for the help
