|  Math help
Ok, im 14 and suck at maths grade D to B in GCSE maths.
And i have a set of questions for homework on MyMaths.co.uk
It's called, solving eqautions with fractions.
Problem is i have no idea what to do and thus cannot get the answers.
Here are the questions:
2x+8 devided by 2=14 and it wants to know what X is x= [ ]
Well thats the first question, i've got a whole heep of these to do 
(easy for you guys  ) |

Heh "maths", silly brits. Thats just good old algebra, solve for x. Wait until you have to deal with calculus in that place yall refer to as "university" (college )  | |

I prefer the sound 'Maths' but your not learning more than one math (plural) so technically it should be Math.
Anyway, schools here go like this. Nursery (below 5), Reception (first 6 months at school) Then primary school, right the way up until your 10. Then college. From 14 till 18 i think. Then University . | |

(easy for you guys ) | I can only assume X= 10
2(10)+8== 28
Thereby divide it by 2 and you get 14...
Are you really stuck on these?!

See now when you say it like that math becomes so much [deleted] easier. My math teacher really sucks at explaining. I'm gona right down what you just said. Oh, and it is maths. The English invented the language, i think we know best
Anyway ive completed it now by using an Online Equation calculator, it was hit and miss and i got 42 percent. But meh it's more the fact it saved me 2 hours and a lunchtime detention. | |

As long as there are calculators to be had, i see no reason to do math on paper.
PS calculus sucks, main reason i changed majors
