lol...

dont worry, i get alot of sh*t about it, and that is some of the nicer sh*t i have recieved ...

[slate]

actualy, it is my first language, and i know my spelling is horrific, but it is not the result of lazyness. you should have seen it a year ago, or two. i have both dislexia, dysgraphia, and other non verbal learning dissorders... please, bare with me :P

Please accept my apology, I did not mean to be insensitive, I never considered the possibility that you had a medical condition.

What grade is that?!?!?

Gr11 Math here is a LOT harder....

It says 9th grade, here is an "11th grade" math question from my textbook: (I dont think its too hard)

Solve:
0<A<360

4sin(squared)A-2sin(squared)A-3=0

[schuyler]

in school here we learned "P.E.M.D.A.S", wich is perenthacies(sp), exponent, multiply, devide, add, subtract. though i never use it(weird things like this just stick in my head)

Re:

Back in India when I was in school there, we learned something which is very easy to remember for solving stuff like this.

BODMAS

Brackets
OF
Division
Multiplication
Addition
Subtraction

Whatever you have, just follow that order. You can never go wrong

Alaska has one of, if not, the best school systemin the nation.

im takeing algebra for the 3rd year strait(i took it at a privat school for 2 years[went more in-depth than they will this year] and they wouldnt let me test out and go to geomatry or somthing... this is why i hate the public school system). anywhay, its not that hard

You may be doing advanced math, but it wouldn't hurt you to do some remedial spelling
I don't mean to be an ass, but there are more than 10 mistakes in your short post. English may not be your first language, but your profile says you are in the US now, A quick spell check wouldn't hurt now and then.

I suddenly think a lot more highly of the Canadian education system...

[northerner2121]

Wouldn't the -2-2 = 0??

No. -2 - -2 would, though.

EDIT: Ah, beat me to it.

[schuyler]

no, b/c its -2-2, so you are subtracting 2 from -2, wich is -4, think of it as -2+(-2)...

btw:

I dunno, I was doing that stuff in grade 9 (a very long time ago)

i did it in grade 7, than 8(7 and 8 in a privet school), and now 9(in a public school, which probably wont go as far as we did in grade 7, much less 8, but they wont let me take gemoetry

First do the stuff in the brackets

-4-(-2-2)(-2)
= -4-(-4)(-2)

Then do the multiplication

-4-(-4)(-2)
= -4-( 8 )

Then subtract

-4-8
=
-12
