I need Advice preferably from 10th graders and up. -So around the start of Middle School I fell behind in math, I have been behind ever since, I have felt like its too late for me to catch up because im so many years behind.
Has anyone else ever experienced the same thing? Did you eventually get caught up? How did you get caught up? What's your advice?

Life Advice:

I, too have experienced a huge fall in my math grades. I'm currently in high school and I have maybe 2 assignments done in my entire school year of math. I have almost no problem with any other subject, I just can't motivate myself to do math. I have a hard time ever even considering catching up, and I personally do not know if I will.

You might have the same problem I do, which is just lack of motivation.

If I were you I would provide some sort of incentive to get yourself to do it more efficiently and better yet, more enjoyably. I also advise listening to music that can get you in a good mood. Both of these things have been a huge help for me to stay motivated in other classes, and they may even help you with math.

I would also recommend getting some kind of a personal tutor. A friend, a worker at school, one of your math teachers. Never feel embarrassed to tell them you're behind. People will almost always be understanding when it comes to helping someone learn something they're behind on.

For an incentive, think about something you might be able to buy with money from a job that you take outside of high school, like a car or a house, or a guitar.

I, personally, am going to get a really beat-up pickup truck if it lasts till the end of my school year.

I hope this helped!

Thanks!

Yes, when I was in middle school, my math grades were pretty bad. I always had a really hard time understanding my teacher's math lessons.

To overcome this,  I spent a lot of time on Khan Academy. The website is really useful, and it can help improve your math bit by bit. I gradually worked my way up, and I got on pace. Now I'm in 10th grade, and my math is much better.

A lot of times I wanted to give up because I thought it was a waste of time, but I think it was the peer pressure that pushed me forward. I did lots of khan academy over the summer in 8th grade, and now I'm much more confident about my math skills.

In the summer, I spent about an hour every day on khan academy, their courses are free and they are also understandable.

I wish you well in the future. It's better late than never.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given a graph for system of inequalities.

in order to write the system of inequalities for the given graph, we need to find the inequality for each of the line separately.

let us find the slope of dotted line first.

taking two coordinates on the graph.

let us say (0,0) and (3,1).

let us find the slope of the line now.

slope of the dotted line would be =.

y-intercept of dotted line is y=0 only.

plugging slope m= and b=0 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

.

the line is shaded up of that dotted line.

therefore, for shading up we would take greater than inequality symbol > .

and because it's a dotted line we would take only > symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for dotted line would be

let us take two points (3,1) and (0,4) on the solid line.

slope of the solid line would be =.

for the solid line we have y-intercept b= 4.

plugging slope m= -1 and b=4 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

y = -1x + 4.

the line is shaded down of that solid line.

therefore, for shading down we would take less than inequality symbol < .

and because it's a solid line we would take ≤ symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for solid line would be

is should be y = 5x
