    Ok, my stupid math teacher gave us some long review homework that we all learned along time ago how to do. But it does take along time, regardless you knowing how to do it or not.

    I was wondering if there is a calculator online that I can do this type of problem on (i cant find any) :

    N - 2/3 (fraction) = 3 1/3

    Why do you need a calculator? It's like basic algebra that I did before I hit puberty.

    Multiply it by the common denominator and solve. Simple as pie.

    N - 2/3 = 10/3

    3N -2 /3 = 10/3

    3N -2 = 10

    N = 4.

    Fractions aren't too difficult ;)

    There might be.

    The going rate will be cheaper than the standard forum posting rate charged :p

    If he puts up any more sums in this thread while I'm online, I'll gladly solve them in a jiffy for no charge.

    We used to have stuff like that at school, or more so me. I hate 2 nights to catch up on 2 1/2 months of homework. Most of the stuff was extremely easy it justs that it was in the masses which made it suck.

    27 pages later and i'm done, yet overly exausted.

    It'll do you good in the long run though so keep at it no matter how boring it is and besides that Maths is more interesting to do rather than something like English homework.

    I never could do math worth a damn. That crap ya'll just did I damn sure can't do it. My understanding of fractions is limited to tape measures and wrench sizes. Then again I know it in hose diameter to. I hate math and absolutely refuse to do it if I ain't go to. Seriously I do not have a clue how to do that. I can't even remember fractions.

    1/2x + 3 = 5
    -3 -3
    1/2x = 2
    *2 *2
    x = 4

    Are you in 6th grade or something seriously? These are so easy. ( Didn't mean to offend you but if this is your math homework you must not be in High School or College )
