Can anyone help me with my homework?

Okay, it's not my homework, it's my daughter's, but I have been out of school for the best part of 3 decades and had no interest in algebra then and no interest now.

She is doing her first week of Grade 10 Distance Education after being out of school for several months.

We are struggling with terminology and rules of gradients and she is expected to hand in some work tomorrow afternoon, and we really can't afford for her to slip behind so early. Don't worry, it's not an assessment, those are done under supervision.

I figure if I see the answers, I can work in reverse and understand the question, and we will get it from here on in.

I have little patience for this sort of thing. My least favourite subject in school.

Thanks Harks

No, it's a worksheet and we don't have the Maths book. They said we could do without it since there is only 6 weeks left in the year. 5 weeks until exams and we are coming from 3 months behind.

Needs to pass Maths and English just to get into Grade 11 and do non-OP subjects. Has totally screwed herself up over the last 12 months.

Can we get hold of Starry at short notice?

Let me know what Maths book the school use.
If it is the same as my daughter uses, I have an extra one and will express post it to you.

It's Maths Quest 3 for Qld, so I assume they are different state by state.

Different book. Sorry.
Silly question but is your daughter 16.
We just don't call them grades any more, but years.

If it is a lower level then that's a different thing.

Old habits die hard. Year 10. She is 15.

The amount of stupid maths that I've done in my time is crazy. There is even such things as imaginary numbers.... Ahhhh maths.

Passed Maths at school and Uni on my ear, but would struggle do it now.

Still more useful than giving book reports and writing essays in English.

Failed religion by choice and not doing any work.
