    Study Notes

    Key Algebraic Concepts

    • Equation: A mathematical expression with an equals sign, showing equivalence (e.g., x + 3 = 5).
    • Constant: A term that is purely numerical, without any variables.
    • Variable: A symbol (usually a letter) representing an unknown value in equations and expressions.
    • Coefficient: The numerical part of a term that contains a variable, indicating how many times the variable is being counted.
    • Inverse: A mathematical operation that reverses the effect of another operation (e.g., addition and subtraction are inverses).
    • Solution set: A collection of all values that satisfy a given equation or inequality.

    Algebraic Operations

    • Like Terms: Terms with the same variable(s); can be combined in expressions (e.g., x + x = 2x).
    • Substitution: Replacing a variable with a specific number to check the correctness of a solution.

    Word Problems and Their Representations

    • Ben's Age Problem: Involves comparing Ben's age with his brother's age using expressions.
    • Maria's Cookie Problem: Focuses on the relationship between the number of cookies taken by Maria and Jackie.
    • Ana's Running Miles: Summation of distances run over multiple days plus an unknown future distance.
    • Pedro's Driving Distance: Calculation of daily driving distance over a set number of days.
    • Ivan's Earnings: Earnings calculation for a specific number of working hours.
    • Spot's Fetching Objects: Summation of different types of objects fetched.
    • Mari's Cookies: Total cookies made based on individual distribution to Mari and her friends.
    • Ali's Test Questions: Calculation of correctly answered questions based on incorrect ones.
    • Farmer Jones' Eggs: Total of unbroken eggs resulting from a known quantity laid by hens.
    • Alex's Turtle Feeding: Calculation of food given to the turtle over a week based on daily feeding.

    Equation Representations of Word Problems

    • Lily's Candies: 88 + 5 = n, calculates the total candies after receiving more.
    • Ticket Costs: 3 x $12.00 = n, finds total cost of multiple tickets.
    • Soda Machines: 164 / 4 = n, determines the number of machines based on soda cases.
    • Jane's Marbles: 5 x 10 = n, totals marbles bought over multiple purchases.
    • Salads at Restaurant: 58 - 8 = n, finds remaining salads to be served.
    • Pumpkin Growth: 676 + 47 = n, calculates total pumpkins grown across two years.
    • Bus Capacity: 4 x 35 = n, determines total passenger capacity for multiple buses.
    • Parking Lot Spaces: 217 / 7 = n, calculates parking capacity per row.
    • Beach Attendance: 49 - 43 = n, determines how many people are sunbathing.
    • Amusement Park Entry: 5n = 35, finds how many people can enter with a limited budget.

    Additional Definitions

    • Simplify: To make an expression easier to understand or compute.
    • Combine: The process of grouping similar numbers or variables together for simplification.
