• (1 vote) I need help with this math problem.
  

  This isn’t going to be easy to explain on here, wish I had a pen and paper.
  
  f(x)=9.(2x-9)/(7)
  
  First combine like terms and use the properties of equality to get the variable on one side of the equation and the numbers on the other. Remember to follow the orders of operation:
  
  f(x)=9.(1/7)(2x-9)
  
  Multiply 1/7 with 2x-9:
  
  f(x)=9(2/7 x-9/7)
  
  Multiply 9 with 2x-9/7:
  
  f(x)=18/7 x-81/7
  
  Subtract 18x/7 from both sides:
  
  (- 18/7+f)x=- 81/7
  
  Divide both sides of the equation by f-18/7:
  
  x=-81/7(- 18/7 + f)
  
  
  Best I can do for you in this format I’m afraid.

  I didn’t say I love a challenge, the original poster did.
  
  Your argument of “God did it” is exactly the line of thinking that sets our science back. 100 years ago people believed electricity was an act of God, now we know otherwise. The same amounts for the original explanation for fire, birds ability to fly, what stars are and why we have day and night. Eventually we discovered the reality of the situation, that God wasn’t magically causing these phenomena but nature and science.
  
  The bible contradicts itself on almost every account. The two testaments completely disagree with each other. The old testament features Samuel L Jackson casted as God, with smiting, fire, brimstone and general bad assery for all. The New testament turns around and portrays him as nanny figure. If things were at least consistent, I’d give it some consideration.

• (1 vote) why can’t your just be friends with a guy & not haveing them think that u want more?
  

  The men you’ll meet at your age often find it difficult to grasp the concept of platonic relationships with women. They’re sex crazed. Just don’t send mixed signals.

• (1 vote) Is This good
  

  You are not to blame for how you feel; your self-injury is an expression of powerful negative feelings and it’s not your fault - regardless of what anyone else says.
  
  Think about your anger and what you do with it. If you weren’t busy being angry with yourself, who would you really be angry with? Your life has worth. It has value. And NEVER think for a moment that you need somebody else to justify your existance. Fulfillment is your birthright. Don’t ever let anyone take that away from you.
  
  Now, you will never. Ever. Cut yourself again. Do you understand? Do I make myself absolutely clear? You’re over that now. Its in the past.

• Is being quiet something wrong?
  

  No, if its who you are then absolutely not. Tell him to go fcuk himself, you are who you are - and so long as you’re satisfied with that then to hell with what other people have to say about it. But personally I believe the thrill of the risk is something everyone should experience. The “what could have been” paradox bothers me so immensely that I pre-empt it at every possible opportunity.

• Would you say that you are truly…”happy”?
  

  “The man who wants nothing is truly invincible.”
  
  It never ceases to amaze me how the Christian inquisition finds ways to make the bible relevant in every question.
  
  Are you happy, Rinchans Angel? What is your definition of happiness? It is after all, an intangible idea.

  Sometimes life hardens people, sometimes people are raised believing that you’ve got to put yourself first if you’re going to survive, sometimes people are just as*holes.
