the Addition Property of Equality
... How do we get FROM the harder equation ‘ 2x − 3 = 0 ’ TO the simpler equation ‘ x = 32 ’ ? That is, what can you do to an equation that will make it look different, but not change its truth? Two transforming ‘tools’ are needed to change ‘ 2x − 3 = 0 ’ into ‘ x = 32 ’. One of these tools (the additio ...

Parts of an Algebraic Expression
... An expression containing variables, numbers, and operation symbols is called an algebraic expression. 5x 1 3y 1 8 is an example of an algebraic expression. Each expression is made up of terms. A term can be a signed number, a variable, or a constant multiplied by a variable or variables. Each term i ...
