What is a variable?

A variable is a placeholder or a symbol that represents a value that can change or vary in mathematical or computational contexts. It is used to store and manipulate data within a program or equation, allowing for flexibility and dynamic operations.

What is an algebraic expression?

An algebraic expression is a mathematical statement that contains variables, constants, and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It represents a mathematical relationship or a generalization of a pattern and can be evaluated or simplified by substituting specific values for the variables.

What is a constant?

A constant is a fixed value or term in a mathematical expression that does not change. It remains consistent throughout the calculation or equation. Constants are used to represent quantities that are known and do not vary in a particular context, allowing for easier analysis and problem-solving.

How do you simplify an algebraic expression?

To simplify an algebraic expression, you need to combine like terms by adding or subtracting them. This involves terms that have the same variable raised to the same power. You also need to use the rules of exponents to simplify terms with variables raised to different powers. Once you have simplified all the terms, you can combine them to get the final simplified form of the algebraic expression.

How do you evaluate an algebraic expression?

To evaluate an algebraic expression, substitute the given values for the variables in the expression and follow the order of operations (parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division from left to right, addition and subtraction from left to right) to simplify the expression. Compute the numerical result after replacing all the variables with their corresponding values to find the final answer.

What is a term in an algebraic expression?

A term in an algebraic expression is a combination of constants, variables, and coefficients that are typically separated by arithmetic operators, like addition or subtraction. Each term is a component of the expression and can stand alone as a mathematical entity. A term does not contain any equal sign or inequality sign.

What is the coefficient of a term?

In algebra, the coefficient of a term is the numerical factor or constant that is multiplied by the variable in the term. For example, in the term 3x, the coefficient is 3 as it is the number multiplied by the variable x.

How do you combine like terms?

To combine like terms, identify terms with the same variable and exponent, then add or subtract the coefficients. For example, in the expression 2x + 3x - 4x, the like terms are 2x, 3x, and -4x. Combining these terms yields x. Also, remember that terms without a variable are considered like terms, such as in the expression 5 + 7 - 2, where 5, 7, and -2 are like terms and can be combined to get 10.

What is the order of operations in algebra?

The order of operations in algebra is: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

How do you translate a word problem into an algebraic expression?

To translate a word problem into an algebraic expression, you need to identify the quantities involved and assign variables to them. Then, use mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to represent the relationships between the quantities. Finally, write an expression that represents the problem using the variables and operations identified. It's crucial to carefully read the problem and understand the relationships between the quantities to accurately translate it into an algebraic expression.
