Hey guys, anyone good at Algebra? Where are my hype aspergers friends?

I am taking College Algebra and I'm stuck.

3x + 5 = 20
x=5

I have hit wall with slope intercepts.

 

[Kane52630]

just dont divide by 0

 

[Mario_Galaxy]

Ugh, this thread brings back terrible memories

 

[Metamorpho1977]

I think my mind is reverting back to my sloped forehead ancestor's days.

 

[ComicChick]

slope has something to do with the Y= right?

 

[Metamorpho1977]

yeah

 

[ComicChick]

...and that's the extent of my knowledge on that lol

isn't that what TI-83 calculators are for?

nah you need a TI-1000 to defeat the robot army that went back in time to kill John Connor

 

[ComicChick]

my mistake

maybe if i knew how to use one. i haven't done algebra in almost 15 years.

plus i'm in the band so i can't count past 4.

Anything after basic math is stupid and worthless. It's simply torture. Unless you're going into a field that involves it, I don't see why the **** we have to take it.

 

[SuperFerret]

You have to take it because it's required.

algebra's not so bad once youve had to do trig

Not true. I took a Business Math class earlier this year, and they taught us how to calculate different kinds of interest, how to pay back loans, the stock market, why my credit card will never break even, etc. A lot of algebra was involved.

Anything beyond algebra is worthless to ordinary people, though.

CC to her Algebra 2 teacher, circa 10th grade. Didn't work.

Still need help?

 

[Scourge2099]

Algebra is the Devil's math. I gotta take Algebra when I go back to school this August.

 

[Carcharodon]

Somebody's never heard of calculus...

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Algebra wasn't that bad. I hated AP Calc. I failed my final (it was my senior year so it was irrelevant).

 

[Metamorpho1977]

I will next week. They showed me a graph that's got squiggly lines on it.

Somehow in 9th grade i wound up in AP Biology. I finished the year with a grade of 28.

I never freaked out much when it came to math until I took Calculus I in college. Even though I always like math, I didn't bother to take Calculus II once I realized that I didn't need to take any more math classes in order to graduate.

You know what's more stressful than calculus? Medical math. It's easier, but if you screw up something dies.
