This site is great, especially for learning. But one problem is that there isn't enough content to teach you some things in math. I don't get how I am supposed to know some stuff after they never show a demo problem and/or only have 1 paragraph or video. I know this is a non-profit, so they don't always have enough funding for everything, but it would be nice.
If you are not understanding something the best thing to do is figure out what you don't understand. Is there particular part that you keep getting wrong when doing problems.
It is not about whether something is explained in one paragraph about whether something has been explained well.
If you refer to the Q/A you find many explanations to problems and questions in recent, trending and top-voted questions. I recommend having a look there. And in case, you still cannot solve your question you can ask a question.
Which course(s) are you working in? Sometimes an incomplete course has just a bit of content.
Also, Khan Academy is not designed as a complete curriculum, but as a supplement to a complete curriculum. I hope you have a complete math curriculum that you are also working from, and that should have both explanations and practice.

Hi! Indeed as Janice puts it, sharing what courses you're studying would be helpful. Most Math courses on Khan Academy have extensive practice and instructional content - from hints and rationales to exercises to videos and articles. Each video and article further has a discussion section where you can ask questions about the content, as cossine has shared.
That being said, if you're looking for live tutoring in Math (or other subjects), check out Schoolhouse.world, also founded by Sal Khan. There are multiple sessions on various Math topics (beginning with Pre-Algebra, I should note --- ie no elementary school math -- but including Calculus and Statistics), and live homework help for specific problems too.
