You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Well, this site is designed to answer more specific questions, so finding a solution to your question is impossible since you don't list what kind of proofs you have problems with. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "But, I would suggest a couple things if you are truly struggling all around: Look at the problem and see if there is anything obvious. If something strikes you as obvious and/or apparent, there is probably a postulate for it. If no postulate can be found, your assumption is most likely incorrect. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then, once surveying the problem and writing down the \"given\" and \"prove\" parts, start looking at the dreaded theorems. Remember, a question asked on a test pertains to theorems discussed in class, so you just need to jog your memory. It also helps working backwards on some of the problems. \r
