I notice I have not been able to help people properly lately. I either make it harder for them or go completely off the topic. I just want to apologize when I confuse some of the askers and then someone else has to come in and fix it. My mind has been a mess lately. I need some time to sort myself out. So sorry again.

There is no problem in that @wolfe8 . It happens sometimes. Overload, tension, stress on mind leads to some kind of mess in the mind just like, you don't know what you are doing, why you are doing etc. Take some rest and come back to help the students here.

Wolfe, I think it is marvelous that you have this insight.  Really mature of you.  The first step is to understand what they need.  Sometimes this is difficult on OpenStudy.  We have people of many cultures, languages, levels of education and all that.  Best strategy is to ask a couple of follow up questions to determine what they are actually confused about!  Keep at it,  you will be great!
