  • Solving Equations by Elimination help?

    how to find the point of intersection for

    4x-9y=4

    6x+15y= -13

    But find lcm multiple for x not y first, b/c I can't do it properly if i start off with x.

    whenever i do it i get:

    (1) x 6 --> 24x-54y=24

    (2) x 4 ---> 24x+60y=-52

    ............. -) ----------------------

    ............... -114y/-114=76/-114

    .............................y=38/-57

    that is not correct, it should simplify to -1/2 like it does when you do it for y.

  • Am I overreacting about exams?

    I recently did 3 exams. I am worrying about one of those exams in particular. Ever since I finished that exam I have been crying at least once every day (its been 3 days). There are still about 5 days until I get my results back. I am DEEPLY frightened about my mark. My mark in that subject is in the early 90's. I calculated that in order for me to increase or at least maintain that mark, I can make a max of 5 mistakes on the exam. I am soo scared that I have gone over 5 mistakes. I have actually begun to write down all of the questions I can remember from the exam just to make sure that I got them all right. So far, i believe I have gotten 3-4 wrong. Every time I think I got one wrong, I freeze up and I feel terrible. I know it sounds ridiculous but ever since I've been getting high marks in this class I have deeply wanted to maintain them, that's why I am going crazy now. The night I did that exam, I couldn't even go to sleep b/c I was so scared I got lower than 90%.

    I believe that most of this craziness came from the trauma I experienced from after I did my science exam in first semester. After doing it I thought i did SO good, I thought i was going to get almost perfect. Everyday I would wake up feeling great, until exam review day. I ended up with a lousy 76%! It lowered my mark, and really did leave me shocked for days. Its like everything I built up, all the excitement came crashing down. I couldn't even look at what i did wrong, I just froze up. I remember before doing the exam I calcualted that I could make a max of 18 mistakes and still get an 80%, which was my target. I can't believe I managed to make more than 18 MISTAKES. I lost a lot of faith in myself after that. I remember the exam being quite easy and I was telling everyone how it was so easy. Ever since then I vowed I would never say that an exam was easy b/c it would bring my expectations too high and i would end up getting emotionally hurt.

    On the day of exam review, I think I'm going to have to bring a pack of tissues b/c I think i'm going to cry before I get the exam, and if I get a mark lower than my expectations, I'm going to cry, and if I get a mark higher than my expectations, I'm still gonna cry-like crazy. I don't think i'm going to not cry at all on that day. & oh god, if somehow i manage to get lower than an 80% on that exam, I am not going to be able to handle myself. I'm probably going to go into a deep shock and faint-no joke. I want a high mark so badly. I don't want this to end up like my science exam, where I was shocked and feeling crummy for days and days.

    Now, after all that, I was wondering if anyone else has ever felt anything sort of like that. Like that need to maintain a mark. It's driving me nuts. While everyone else in my grade is probably sitting down, relaxing, I'm freaking my **** out. :/

  • Does the IMF and World Bank provide foreign aid to those in need?

    I recently had a test and the question was saying: The IMF and World bank:

    -Provide foreign aid to those in need -Give out loans to developing countries

    and there were two other options but i highly doubt one of them was the answer.

    I circled the foreign aid option, i was just wondering if i was correct.

    I was reading that the world bank focuses primarily on developing nations, and the imf focuses on the entire world. I also read that the imf canceled debts of other countries, so i didnt think think that the option which was that the imf gives out loans was correct. Isn't forgiving debts of another country some type of foreign aid?

    & isn't the imf and world bank composed of many different (developed) countries? foreign aid is when other countries help a country, so couldn't the world bank and imf provide foreign aid?

    but now im kind of skeptical of my answer, b/c when you think of "world bank" and "international monetary fund", you think of money.

  • Why do I "enjoy" pitying myself?

    Often, i pity myself. It's weird because i enjoy it. I like to feel bad about myself. I like to think about bad things in my life and be upset. Most people probably don't like the idea of self-pity and try to avoid it, but i'm more of the opposite. Its almost as if i'd rather be sad and feel bad, then be happy. I like seeing happy people and then wishing i could be like that too. I feel it has a lot to do with my friends. I feel very disconnected to them. I think about the way I am treated by them. One has a boyfriend who she obsesses about, the other is not as close to me but we are friends. The problem with her is she is boy-crazed, self obsessed (makeup-wise). & my last friend, who is more of my own friend than the friend of my other two friends, but she's still apart of our group. I've always felt like i could trust her, until now. Often I find myself ranting to her about how I feel about my other two friends. Somehow she always finds a way to counter act my argument. For example, I will tell her that one of my friends is obsessed over her boyfriend and talks about him all the time (which she does), and she will tell me that she is not "that" bad and that i am her friend so i should listen to what she has to say. She finds a way to disagree with me on almost everything i say about my other friends. I feel like she's constantly on their side. I feel like she's a terrible sympathizer and makes me feel like i'm always being irrational. She is not close with them, which is why she doesn't have to listen about what my boyfriend-crazed friend said about her bf. That's why it worse for me. There are so many other things that they do, like taking forever during lunch and talking to billions of people. I almost feel like there's something wrong with me now, which is why i constantly pity myself. :/ Throughout all of my school years, I feel like I've never had good, genuine friends, i've often been a loner, like how i decided to sit alone in the cafeteria a couple days ago ( because as always they were taking forever). That's maybe why i'm so awkward and self-pitying now. I feel like i'm more school & family oriented while my other friends are more social & friends oriented. That's also why i'm more focused on my schoolwork, I've been more motivated to do my work because I feel like i don't need friends/a social life. Whenever I get good marks, that's when I feel good, not when i'm with my friends. It's stupid, but it's like school is my friend :O But it's bothering me now. I think the friend that i could trust is thinking of me as a bad person for talking about my others friends and what they do that annoys me. I think she thinks i'm a hypocrite :o So, i'm gonna leave it at this, i'm sorry it's probably long but I don't really have anyone else to rant to. What do you think is wrong?

  • why does my backpack smell like urine?

    Ever since I bought my backpack, it has had this urine-like smell... I smelled the other backpacks and they had the same smell... I figured it would just go away after, but it hasn't. Why does it smell this way? Oh and it was bought at Wal-Mart.

  • My friend is obsessed with her boyfriend?

    One of my close friends is obsessed with her boyfriend. He lives across the country, but they met each other during a wedding (they're not blood related). Ever since then they've been texting, and messaging each other non-stop. She's not allowed to date so shes constantly hiding it from her parents. In the beginning, it was alright, it was kind of cute. After approx 5 months it really started to become annoying! Whenever my friends and I get together, the first person to talk will be her. Instead of saying hi or asking about us, she'll start off by saying "Guess what _____ did?!" and she'll tell us what he said to her, which is usually something really cheesy. The other thing is she'll show us what he texted her which is usually something really corny and not very cute anymore. Its the pretty much the SAME stuff everyday and it gets really, really annoying. Its not even just us who she'll tell, she'll pretty much tell every single one of her friends what he said on a daily basis and its annoying. Sometimes i think that all she really cares about is him. She says she "loves" him but we're only in high school O_o. She'll also keep track of how many days they've been together. A couple weeks ago she told us it was their "anniversary". I honestly didn't really care though. I told her that if I was in a relationship then I would never really care to remember how many days passed. She told me that if I really love the guy, then I'm gonna remember. I think thats bs and annoying. If he doesn't message her for 2 days, she'll start whining and get upset about it. She'll also start acting really "sexual" with him. She always tells me that he was 'being horny last night' and that he said gross things, which she also says too. So now I'm just confused as to whether I should stop being friends with her or if i should confront her about this...

  • Ever since high school started i've been getting my periods after ten days. how can i fix this?

    They also last for around 10 days and it used to be 7 days. I used to get them once a month now its after every 10 days. Its also a heavy flow.

    I went to the doctor and got tests done and there's nothing wrong. So my doctor said that its caused by stress and lack of sleep. I agree, but how do it make it come regular?

    My mom said i cant take birth control because she thinks its going to cause problems for me later?
