Default I suck V. Math

Once again I made little mistakes that put me behind....totally stupid mistakes..


Quiz today, One problem deals with solving linear equations..well we had to solve by graphing..I do everything fine, but forget to write "no solution" because they were parallel...marked off for that

And the last problem, "no solution" as well, but somehow i created a solution lol

maybe scored 15/20 max...very upset

Im getting hammered tonight, and then going to a math tutor every morning til i get my grade up.

math isnt easy, and alot of people give up at a young age and tell themselves they are just plain bad at math, this leads to them being behind in college and having very low self esteem with math, and it is very hard to overcome this

so are you getting tripped up by the algebra?
looks like you understand the concepts ok

with this kind of stuff its just practice practice practice
being as familiar as possible with the stantard form, understanding what x and y intercept really mean, knowing what the slope is and what parallel lines and perpindicular lines look like in equation form

when you go to your tutor, make sure they help you learn, not do your hw for you
its easy to just let them do the stuff for you and nod and agree with them, but you wont learn shit and its a waste of both of your time and money
