is an algebraic expression?

 Why do I have to use opposite operation in
an equation?
 Why do we solve equations?
 An
algebraic expression is a mathematical
expression that consists of variables,
numbers and operations. The value of this
expression can change.
 Calculating the value of an expression is
called ‘evaluating’ the expression.
 A variable is a symbol used to represent a
number in an expression or an equation. The
value of this number can change.
 The
goal in solving an equation is to get the
variable by itself on one side of the equation
and a number on the other side of the
equation.
 To isolate the variable, we must reverse the
operations acting on the variable. We do this
by performing the inverse of each operation
on both sides of the equation. Performing the
same operation on both sides of an equation
does not change the validity of the equation,
or the value of the variable that satisfies it.
 The
process of finding out the variable
value that makes the equation true is
called ‘solving’ the equation.
 Write
and solve an
equation to find
the measure of
angle x.


angle b.

The Irrational Club wants
to build a tree house.
They have a 9-foot ladder
that must be propped
diagonally against the
tree. If the base of the
ladder is 5 feet from the
bottom of the tree, how
high will the tree house be
off the ground?


segment AB

represents the cost in
dollars of the materials
and labor needed to build
a square fence with side
length x feet around a
playground. Interpret the
constants and coefficients
of the expression in
context.
