I'm tring to prepare for a prep test for school. I've been out for over 20 yrs. I'm having a hard time with the math part. I feel that if I knew how to use the formulas and understood them better, I would succeed. I don't know what to do first. Add or subtract. What does it mean when I see a / between numbers.
