Conclusion
http://www.freemathhelp.com was very helpful. I found no real problems with it, except that it took a little while to get an answer, but the answers were worth it. I had a hard time moving away from Yahoo, just because I’ve been using it for so long. Like I said Yahoo can be good, but it’s a hit and miss kind of thing. But searching for something similar to your question in Yahoo can be beneficial because so many people use it, and it is likely someone else has asked a question similar to yours. I would have looked at more sites, but I found freemathhelp to be all that I needed.
