Study Notes
Literal Calculations
- Literal calculations are mathematical expressions that involve variables and constants.
- Variables are letters that represent unknown values.
- They rely on the principles of algebra to perform operations.
- An example of a literal calculation is $3x + 5x$, where "x" represents an unknown value.
- Variables in literal calculations represent specific values, and their role is to hold the place of those unknown values.
- The benefit of using literal calculations is to simplify complex expressions and find solutions to problems.
- They help in understanding how different variables interact within an expression.
Simplifying Expressions
- When simplifying $3x + 5x$, the result is $8x$.
- This simplification uses the distributive property of multiplication.
- It allows us to combine like terms, resulting in a simplified expression.
