I kwit kollege.

I've said this before. Many times. But I am 90% through the 300 prereq topics we had to go through the 2 weeks before Intermediate Algebra started. My brain is toast. And now they present me with this:



I don't even think thoughts at this point. Purple two cumquats hairbrush. HALP.

I CAN'T EVEN TELL IF YOU'RE CONFUSED OR CONFUSED AS TO WHY I'M CONFUSED

OR IF YOU'RE TRYING TO POST IN THE UGLY SELFIE THREAD AND ARE CONFUSED

Really, it is too late in the day for this kind of nonsense. So, my answer is to solve for (A) if (A) = alcohol.

[CajunShrimp]

Naw, I took several semesters of calculus and I have no idea what that thing means.

I did do that on vacation - I had to put about 11 hours into the prep course.  Eventually, it got all pissy with me when I couldn't subtract 5 from 24, so I stumbled outside.

The end.

PS - I don't know if it'll help at this level, but I've heard great things about www.purplemath.com .

Also, that shit up there is why I have an English lit degree.

[karmasabiotch]

I have a masters degree and only made it to pre algebra in H.S. In college I took logic classes for math credits. Not surprisingly, I barely passed those.

Ok skip that confusing shit in the middle, just plug in 1 for x. At least that's my take away...no wonder I'm only an average student, I always go for the short cut so that I can start drinking sooner.

Cheers!

[LeggsBenedict]

I seriously changed majors because of shit like that.

I HAVE to pass this with a C because I HAVE to take statistics.

Shit, I took "math appreciation" on a Saturday from 8am-12pm. Do you know how many classes I actually made it to?

I was ALL SET to do that, but it specifically wants quotients, remainders, and values.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

OH WAIT
I FIGURED IT OUT

That's definitely worded more confusingly than it had to be.

I'm so sorry.

Grad school stats was one of the worst things I've ever been through. The blood/sweat/tears.  OY.

My degree is in math - and I think the middle part is stupid & more confusing than it needs to be.

Maybe it's the way it's worded. I DON'T LIKE IT.

Yeah, it's weird. I don't know why they are structuring it like that.

I never understood why we had learn to that. Like who the fuck uses that in their day to day life??

Aww shit, I always hated having to show my work in school! The middle is all sorts of unnecessarily confusing, but I'm sure you can figure it out (it started making sense to me eventually lol). Sometimes I have to slowly back away from my books and come back an hour later or else I'll set them on fire. Maybe a break (and a drink) will calm your mind. Or weed? 

Good luck!

I had another assessment come up, and at the end of it you get your score and how much time you've spent in the system between each assessment.

I added it up.

It's 28.9 hours.

I have spent a day out of my life in the past month prepping for this damn course.

I kwit.

When the fuck are you going to use that in an everyday job unless you're a mathematician, physicist, MWOS or Neil deGrasse Tyson?
