    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.
