So I signed up because I'm in a hard place.

Basically I moved to America from Australia, and when I moved they gave me credits for Algebra I....but I've never taken algebra before (unless you count Pythagoras Theorem (love that)). So I was shoved into Algebra II... I barely passed.

Now I'm in Algebra III and still lacking the tools of Algebra I... this is my last year of highschool and if I don't pass I don't graduate. I can't pay for tutoring, and I can't always stay back. No one else in the class seems to understand..those who do I don't get along with or have no time (or both).

I understood and passed Geometry really well... but Algebra is always a struggle. My first test this year I got 16% on, the second 42%, so as you can see I'm trying. I'm not used to such bad grades, I get 90's in every other class.

I have a load of trouble with fractions, and sometimes factoring. I seem get an answer, but I do it wrong . It's not like Geometry where you're told what to use to solve it.

So I'm sorta hoping you guys can help me out a bit. I don't even have a book yet .
