Pre Algebra Help !!!!!!

Published

:uhoh3: i am about to pull my hair out !!!!! first of all, i am taking my pre-req's and have not been in school for 14 years. therefore, i have developed one major memory block in something that i know should be simple........integers! if someone could refer me to a website that will help me get refreshed i would deeply appreciate it. i am going crazy !! :bugeyes:

tiffanys mom, I am 36 and just started back to school this year first taking math. I have been full time mom for 16 years and know how you can forget math. I took algebra in high school but am in pre-algebra now and hoping to take algebra over again this summer. I thought math would be hardest but now I am thinking it will be the easiest class I have to take. I got an A last semester and am going to try for an A again.

thanks a bunch mrsbradymom !!!! finally someone put it in english terms and not the usual language. i thought i had it all down and then this morning i go to pre-algebra and the professor was showing us a different way than how i was doing it and i got all screwed up. :angryfire i finally bought a scientific calculator and have been checking my answers. the way you worded it was straight forward and i can grasp that a lot easier ! thanks and i am going to jot that down in my notes !!!!! :tku:

You are quite welcome sweetie!

I too have been out of school for about 17 years. I started last Spring with basic algebra, then took a harder algebra class in Fall. Math was always tough for me, but I am happy to report I made A's in both classes. I can now do quadratic equations like a pro. I won't lie and say it was easy....I put in tremendous amounts of study time. But I had awesome proffessors that explained everything in non-math terms.

I have saved all my notes, which are in simple terms like the ones I explained above. The next you get stuck, give me a yell and I'll dig out my notes.

Good luck!
