Good or anywhere near acceptable at math? READ THIS

Please don't TL;DR!
(But I have highlighted the main point in yellow just in case you do)

Here's the deal. I have an online math class that started a week ago, but I was under the impression it started this week and had my computer worked on. I got on lateish last night for the first time to see that I had three quizzes due. They are due tonight at midnight. I did the first two, one I have 100% on (word problems), one I have a 77% (radicals), and the third is yet to be submitted. The third should be the easiest, just basic algebra, but I've done the practice again and again and math is very difficult for me, so I have never gotten a passing grade.

I am asking someone to get on IRC with me tonight while I take the quiz and help me get the answers.


I have never in my life been good at math past the simple algebra level, but I want very much to change that. I'm going to keep trying to take math courses, even if I keep doing badly. I like math. I don't want to be one of those people who gave up on a scientific career because I couldn't do it, and I sure as hell don't want to start out with an F because I was unexpectedly hit with these three quizzes having no preparation.

I'll really appreciate any help. Thanks for reading
