I am so bad at math!?

Heather leaves a town at 2 p.m., going 56 mph, traveling east. Erin leaves the same town at the same time going 64 mph, traveling in the same direction. What time of day will it be when Erin is 72 miles ahead of Heather?\n============================================================\n\nHeather's distance = 56x\nErin's distance = 64x\nx = hours traveled\n\nThe distance between them at any time can be expressed as a simple equation:\n\nd = 64x - 56x\nd = 8x\n\nYou want to find "x" when d = 72 miles:\n\n8x = 72\nx = 9 hours\n\n2:00 p.m. + 9 hours = 11:00 p.m.

Ya well just try this site below...............this is the site that i used to brush up on my mathematics skills too..........\nHope this helps u\n:)

Instead of memorizing all the equations,understand how they are derived.Try to do it yourself.If you can't go to someone who knows for help.

If it's math you can get some pretty good help at math.com. going to google for extra practice in pretty much anything. edhelper has worksheets you can print.

you need to do a lot of exercises, ask your teacher a lot of questions, and work on your math every day... \ngood luck!!!!!!

Wow! was that real math?  Boy i'd better go back to elementary and start all over.  All of you are way too smart for me.

I can sympathize with you because I am terrible at math.  But, of they gave it to anyone who is "just not a math person" the whole testing system would be skewed and GEDs would become useless.  You did great passing all those other parts.  Your anxiety is probably inhibiting you.  Learn some relaxation breathing exercises and review a little math every evening.  You can also sign up for Adult Basic Education math classes at your local school board (or nearest big city).  You can do it...I do really bad when I get worked up, and that might be your problem.  Also, slow down and take your time.

Jimbo, believe in yourself. You have given enough right answers to know what you are capable of. Thanks for an answer you gave me, that I needed, so I could help my wife with her college math class. Keep up the GREAT WORK!

I don't know... I try to use math as little as possible... today I'm up to only 8 times.... doh!  counting them makes 9!

umm..are you missing an equals sign somewhere or am i really dumb? how do you figure out what x is unless you have both sides of the equation?

Practice with easy stuff that you can quickly remember.\n\nFor instance, if you want to be able to add numbers quickly, remember how to add numbers 1 through 9 to each other (ie 5 + 9 = 14; 2+8 = 10). Once you know these, try writing down double digit numbers and try to solve them in your head.  You will already know how to do the ones column.\n\nFor instance:\n   45\n+19\n-------\n64\n\nLearn easy problems first then move on to hard ones.  You can apply this to subtraction, division, and multiplication too.  It really is just practice that will make you better.

Use a calculator and raise it to the 1/3 power.\nDon't try to do it by hand...

Next time just type your math equation into Google and it will do the math for you.\n\n15

Try a logical approach... and play lazy... First determine which you hate worse: Math or not knowing the answer. After determining which one you hate worse simply be ignorant of the other undesireable, and relie on others to provide the solution for you. In case you hate math worse than not knowing the answer you can also have a calculator do the work for you.

Dear friend, I think your problem is either understanding or or basic mathematics ( some principles and rules ).\n\n"EVERY THING IS DIFFICULT BEFORE THEY ARE EASY"\n\nFirst understnd the peoblem and then think what are the next. Do everything effectively and efficiently. you ask your teacher once or twice or thrice or.... until you undertstood the problem. Understnding creates east of every thing. good luck...\n\n\n\n\n\nhttp://futureaccountant.com\n\nhttp://schoolingkids.com

I have similar problems.  My problem is just being sloppy with calculations and numbers.  I just have difficulty paying attention.  If you continue with mathematics, you may never see a mumber larger than 30 or so after your sophmore year.  You will be dealing with proofs and theroms and the basic structures of math.\n\nMeanwhile, what has helped me is writing down every step, so my teacher can see what I tried to do, and give me partial credit.  After I am done, (or right away on multiple choice tests, or problems with lots of numbers),  I check my answer.  Devise little checks that make sense to you.  In equations, plug simple to solve numbers in the result.  In division, multiply things together.  It often takes less time to check an answer than solve it again.  Also, try to figure out exactly what mistakes you tend to make.  then you know where to focus your attention in checking work.  Solve things two different ways.  Perhaps by graphing and then algebraically.  (This may get you brownie points.)\n\nDon't worry too much.In college I have seen math teachers often make errors on the board, so they know how easy it is to do.  These same teachers will cut you some slack too.
