    Study Notes

    Constants and Variables

    • Constant: A fixed numerical value that doesn't change (e.g., 5, -3, 1.2).
    • Variable (Literal/Pronumeral): A symbol (letter) representing an unknown number (e.g., x, y, a).

    Uses of Variables

    • Variables represent different types of numbers in real-world situations:
      • Whole numbers (e.g., number of students in a class, represented by 'n').
      • Fractions (e.g., distance traveled in half a day, represented by 'd/2').
      • Decimals (e.g., weight of a fruit, represented by 'x kg').
      • Percentages (e.g., discount on a product, represented by 'p%').

    Algebraic Expressions with Monomials

    • Monomial: An algebraic expression with just one term (e.g., 3x, -5a, 7m).
    • Example: If bus fare is $x, traveling 3 times costs 3x.

    Terms in an Expression

    • Term: A single number, variable, or their product (e.g., 4x, -2y, 3).
    • Number of Terms: Count separate parts before simplifying.
    • Example: 5x + 3y - 2 has 3 terms (5x, 3y, -2).

    Solving Equations

    • Balancing: Keep both equation sides equal by performing the same operation on both sides.
    • Example: x + 3 = 7 becomes x = 4 (subtracting 3 from both sides).
    • Transposition: Move terms to the other side by changing the sign.
    • Example: 2x - 3 = 9 becomes 2x = 12 (add 3 to both sides) and then x = 6 (divide both sides by 2).

    Coefficients

    • Numerical Coefficient: The number multiplying the variable (e.g., in 7x, the coefficient is 7).
    • Coefficient: Can include variables, like 3xy (coefficient of x is 3y).

    Finding Factors

    • Factors: Numbers/variables that multiply to form a term.
    • Example: 12xy
    • Factors: 12, x, y
    • Further breakdown: 12 = 2 x 2 x 3, so factors are 2, 2, 3, x, y.

    Like and Unlike Terms

    • Like Terms: Have the same variables and exponents (e.g., 3x and 5x).
    • Unlike Terms: Have different variables or powers (e.g., 2x and 4y).

    Simplifying by Collecting Like Terms

    • Add or subtract only like terms.
    • Example: 3x + 2x - 5y + y = (3x + 2x) + (-5y + y) = 5x - 4y.

    Multiplying Monomials

    • Multiply coefficients and variables separately.
    • Example: (2x) * (-3y) = -6xy

    Substituting in Expressions

    • Replace variables with given values and find the solution.
    • Example: If x= 2, find the value of 3x + 2 = 3(2)+2=8

    Converting Statements to Expressions

    • Translate word problems into algebraic expressions.
    • Example: "A number n increased by 5" = n + 5.
    • Example: "Twice a number x minus 3" = 2x - 3

    Exam Tips

    • Identify like terms before simplifying.
    • Balance equations step-by-step.
    • Be mindful of negatives in substitutions.
    • Break monomials into factors for better simplification.
