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

If you have a problem, simply don't reply - this thread doesn't concern your perceptions of this. Just because it's cheating in someone's opinions doesn't actually make it cheating.
If you need any help, ask me when I'm on in the future - sorry I missed the original request in time with this thread

I have to agree with Icu on this one, but that of course is just my humble opinion. If you were asking for help and not just answers, I'm sure the response would have been quite different. :/
Heh, Algebra, I sucked at Algebra. Passed it with a 71% and was like "Neva again!".

If you read the OP, it is about help, and not simply asking for answers (which is fine, mathematics is so badly taught in so many contexts, I never understood it all either).

If that is the case, then "help me get the answers" is kinda vague, it could mean actually working out the problems or just helping with math rules and such.
