2x + 3 = 11
6(4x - x) = 12x - 36
15>7 - y
and other stuff with surface area

so i need a site to help me with questions like that thx :)

Answer 2

Well, I"m in 9th grade and is taking Alegbra 2/Trig. Honors now (I'm the only freshman to take that class).
I never took algebra 1 class, becuase i skipped it this year when i just took the test to see if i can go a higher math class.

So, when i was in 7th grade, like you. I independently studied pre-algebra by using a textbook, and finished the pre-algebra course in three months during the summer.
You might want this book, it's called Pre-Algebra by Maragret Lial. It's a good book, but includes advanced topics too.
and i studied Algebra 1 for nine-months and the book is called Intermediate Algebra by Lial and Hornsby. Good book too, even it have some advanced topics.
So, i don't know any website, but i would suggest a textbook instead, because you probably would get more out of a book than a website. You should ask your teacher or your parents for more info about help. Don't be afraid to ask questions or that will deter from you improving yourselves.
I learned it the hard way by not asking questions. Don't be too shy about getting help.

Answer 3

Well, I don't know any websites. Sorry.

All you have to do is move stuff from one side to the other
2x+3=11
subtract three from both sides
2x=8
divide by 2
x=4

6(4x-x)=12x-36
divide both sides by 6
4x-x=2x-6
subtract 2x
4x-x-2x=6
simplify
x=6

15>7-y
subtract 7
8>-y
when you divide by a negative with less than or greater than, you switch the sign
y>8

Don't worry. I took advanced algebra all the way up to advanced Calculus senior year. I really found it fun!! Good luck!!!

Answer 4

1) 2X+3=11 2x+(3-3)=11-3 2x=8 2x/2=8/2 x=4
2) 6(4x-x)=12x-36 6 times 3x=12x(-36)

6 +36=12x/3x 42=9x 42/9=9x/9 4.66=x x=4.66

I'm from Jam. not sure if u work maths like us. I don't know a website though 2 help u. Just read and practice at all times that's what i do. good luck

Answer 5

2X+3=11, subtract the three from both sides, so 2X=8. Next, divide 2 from both sides, so you get X=6.

Answer 6

Study from your textbook, algebra is the easiest math class, so most people skip it, like I did. It's so simple, you can literally learn it in a day. I suggest going to google and typing in algebra help and it comes up with a lot of results...

Answer 7

well a tip i can give u is this:

ur tryin 2 get all of the variables on one side...

when u use thje >< signs...u switch them wen u divide...i would ask ur teacher 2 explain...stay after 4 help

Answer 8

Get a nice book on Algebra...
once you have your concepts clear you'll find it very easy...

the following sites can help you...
math.com
math.about.com

or you can get some book like Algebra for Dummies...
Dummies series are pretty good for freshers... and then you can pick up a good book with advanced concepts...

Answer 9

Ask your teacher and maybe you should study that might help...I'm not trying to be rude but that is how I got a year ahead in math.
