Study Notes
Variables, Equations, and Expressions
- A variable is a letter or symbol that represents a value that can change or vary.
- An expression is a group of numbers, variables, and operations combined to form a mathematical phrase, without an equal sign.
- An equation is a statement that says two expressions are equal, typically denoted by an equal sign (=).
Factoring Algebraic Expressions
- Factoring is the process of expressing an algebraic expression as a product of simpler expressions, called factors.
- Factoring involves finding the common factors that multiply together to give the original expression.
- Factoring is used to simplify expressions, solve equations, and identify patterns.
Solving and Evaluating Algebraic Equations
- Solving an equation involves finding the value(s) of the variable that makes the equation true.
- Evaluating an equation involves finding the value of the equation when the variable is given a specific value.
- The purpose of solving and evaluating equations is to find the unknown value, model real-world situations, and make predictions or decisions.
