No Possible Way To Pass Algebra
14/F
Okay, so I turn in all my assignments and I pay attention in class and ask questions.
The lowest grade in my school is an E, the highest is an A.
I have an E in Algebra, even after I've tried! It seems after every time I try, I fail! Any ideas on what to do?
I gave up on this last year and the year before, but I don't want to do it again. I need help.
P.S I really don't want to sit alone in a room with my teacher either. o-o; I get super nervous a lot.

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
A lot of people fall into the category of hating math (I am one of those people). Thats weird that lowest grade is an E.
1) Talk to your teacher
2) Get a tutor or ask your parents for help
My best friend has failed a math class a numereous amount of times...but you know what he doesn't give up! I admire him for that...so the best advice of all that I can give you is:
DON'T GIVE UP!
:)
Good luck and be positive!

lol hey haha im a teacher myself so dont worry and i use to hate geometry lol but dont worry the only reason i passed algebra when i was in school was because of my dad.what you need to do is just practice practice practice.doo all the questions and if you dont understand ask the teacher to help you and explain it to you then go home and do all the questions in your book especially the hard ones its the only way yyou can understand it is by practice..trust me i was the slowest kid in maths that i ever met it was horrible but dont worry you will turn out fine!just pass it for the year get it outta the way and dont worry bout it..good luck!

Algebra was pretty much second nature to me...I took it last year & kept a 112 average.
But, I will say that the only way I was able to study from my notes is if they were taken step by step. The notes had to illustrate every little change that occured in an equation.
For example, I wouldn't have been able to study from this:
6y+2=8 --> 6y=6
In order to study, I would've had to write that same equation like this:
6y+2=8 --> 6y=8-2 --> 6y=6
Maybe this can help you.
It helped my friend when I showed her.
Also, maybe if you looked at the equation from a different perspective, you could understand it a little better.
Algebra is a lot of inverse operations, and people don't partake in inverse actions much because everything we do is electronic. We push a button and things go back to their default positions.
If you look at a problem that tells you to 'find x,' think of it literally in terms of "finding x." Then, your logic will come into play and you won't just be thinking, "x is a letter...what is this?...confusing?"
Think of it in the same terms as if you lose an object in your house & you have to backtrack to find it.
So, if you think you lost your toering, and it might be on your toe, but you're wearing socks, you'll just think, "Okay...well I put on my socks...so I'll take them off to see if it's there."
So, in algebra:
6x+3=9
Well, you added 3 in there, so, to find x, you'll have to subtract 3 from 9 in order to isolate x.
6x=6
So now it looks like x has been multiplied by 6, so to find x...divide by 6.
Always divide both sides, though.
x=1.
Now that I typed all that, I'm thinking...maybe you needed help on the more advanced algebra...towards the end, with graphs and all.
Oh well.
Hopefully I helped you.
