Hi umm /science and math/.... anyway. i have a problem, i dropped out of school in 10th grade, long story short, i forget almost everything about my entire school career. now im relearning it. specifically math, i never got more than a -c in Pre-algebra, now in less than two days i have re-taught and learned things i have never learned before by teaching myself... im still sketchy when it comes to fractions, decimals, and ratios. because back in 4th grade my teachers and ALL of the substitutes were very inconsistent, and it was a hard environment to learn in, also it was catholic, so thats two bad things. there was no room for mistakes, and it was very stressful for a young kid. to this day i have trouble doing the things i "learned" back then. but now i am teaching my self algebra and i am having a less than satisfactory time trying to recognize different types of equations, and trying to figure out which formulas im supposed to use and how im supposed to complete problems. i know how to do them sure, but i dont want to use my notes to help recognize them, because im taking a test. can i have some help from a smart person please?
here is a link of the quiz im taking, if you'd like you can look it over and see exactly what im talking about.
In France, a few clever gentiles sensed which way the wind was blowing in the Dreyfus case, even if they had no understanding of the parasitic theory. An obscure hackwriter named Emile Zola wrote some fiery articles, such as "J’Accuse," demanding that Dreyfus be freed, and the international Jewish propaganda machine immediately began to puff Zola as a great writer. He enjoyed great fame and fortune during the rest of his life, although his novels are now ignored.
A pompous little country lawyer, Clemenceau, also found his career in the Dreyfus case. He intervened on Dreyfus’ behalf, and the Jews made him Premier of France. The way of the shabez goi can he smoothed.
The threat of rejection always stirs a torrent of fear and anger in the parasite. This writer encountered an example of this when he purchased a secondhand mattress in Jersey City. Late that night, he was awakened by an unwelcome presence. He switched on the light, and there on his stomach was a fat little bedbug, swollen with its feast, and reluctant to abandon its host even in the light of exposure. When the light came on, the bedbug gave a furious shriek of anger, and waddled out of sight. At this time, the writer did not immediately relate this episode to the theory of the biological parasite, but he later reflected that this anger of the bedbug, which was carrying on its usual activity, was understandable. We cannot expect the Jew to appreciate any effort of the gentile host to dislodge him, and remove him from the feast. This is why he works day and night to prevent such a thing.
>>3 just gave you the answers. Easy stuff, no formulae required.

It would help you better to write out a specific problem and show us the problem you're having. I don't care enough to go to that link and start testing you.

i dont need help with a problem. im having trouble recognizing the different types of equations. which makes it hard to know what im doing on any one problem.

I'm having a hard time understanding what you're asking. You say you're having a hard time recognizing different types of equations, but on that work sheet they're all straight lines. You're going to have to be a little more specific, which is why an example would be very helpful.
I'm not entirely sure of the exact problem you're having but do you mean that you're not sure when to add/subtract and when to multiply/divide both sides of the equation? I agree with >>9 - give us a specific problem with which you're having difficulty. Tell us how you tried to solve it. We'll have a better idea of how to help you then!
(Also, this board isn't really the best place to get quick help - I'd be happy to provide my contact details for instant messaging purposes if you like. Maths undergrad here, you'd be in pretty good hands :D)
Hmm okay, I think you just have a learning impairment. That's cool. At least you are actually trying to learn.
Whenever you see a number and a letter together, you will divide both sides by the number. For example, 2x = 6. The 2 and the x are together so you divide both sides by 2. Here's some more examples:
4x= 8 The four and x are together. Divide by 4. x=2
3y= 9 The 3 and the x are together. Divide by 3 x=3
1093847z = 1093847 That huge number is together. Divide by that. x= 1
Are you starting to see the pattern? We can start explaining math to you in this style if you understand it this way.

Oh crap, I changed the letters to show you that it doesn't matter what letter they use. The pattern is:
"If a number and a letter is together, you divide by that number."
4x=8 The four and x are together. Divide both sides by 4. x=2
3y=9 The 3 and the y are together. Divide both sides by 3. y=3
1093847z = 1093847 That huge number and z is together. Divide both sides by that. x=1

If you call this "algebra", then I must pee in your ear. Unless you're trolling.

This is colloquially known as "algebra". Only us math people tend to make the distinction. If you ask a non-math person if they can do algebra, most would probably think you were talking about elementary algebra and not real algebra.

This. Seriously people, stop acting so elitist. Everyone here understands the distinction between elementary algebra and abstract algebra, you don't win anything by pointing out what everyone else is ignoring.

Hi, could anybody help me with this? I'm not too good at math.
Express x(power 2) - 3x + 4 in the form (x - p)(power 2) + q, where p and q are rational numbers.
1. Make sure coefficient of x^2 is 1.
2. Represent x term coefficient as being divided and multiplied by 2.
3. Add and subtract a number equal to the square of half of the x term coefficient.
4. Represent as a whole square term.
5. Simplify extraneous constant terms.
