Answer 1

I am 45 years old and like to joke that I was absent the day that my teacher taught math.  Math was never a strength for me.

I wonder if you would consider receiving tutoring to assist you in your difficulties.  Perhaps the course on-line is not in tune with your personal learning style.  

Be proud of yourself that you do well in your other courses.

Best to you....

Answer 2

First of all, stop feeling bad. Sometimes people forget about how important feeling good about yourself is, and if u feel happy you will probably be able to do better work.  If you are doing well in other subjects, you are obviously smart.  Maybe it's just a preconceived notion that you aren't good at math - maybe if you say ' i love math~ im good at it and so glad im doing it!' you will find you are more motivated.  also, you don't need to cheat.  if you have specific problems and questions, either ask a person or ask online - im sure someone will be able to help you.  once you understand a concept, you will find it much easier to work out the problems and find yourself loving math!
