 What
is
Algebra?

Algebra
is
a
kind
of
mathemaKcal
language,
with

its
own
vocabulary.


You
probably

that
it

RATIONAL
NUMBER

A
number
the
can
be
expressed
as
the
quoKent

of
 two
 integers.
 FracKons,
 mixed
 numbers,

decimals,
 and
 integers
 are
 all
 raKonal
 numbers,

because
they
may
expressed
as
a
quoKent.


 The
Vocabulary
of
Algebra…

IRRATIONAL
NUMBER

Some
 numbers
 cannot
 be
 wrieen
 as
 a
 quoKent

of
two
integers;
these
are
irraKonal
numbers.


The
 decimal
 form
 of
 an
 irraKonal
 number
 does

not
terminate
or
repeat
(like
a
raKonal
number).

 The
Vocabulary
of
Algebra…

REAL
NUMBERS

The
 numbers
 we
 use
 to
 measure
 real‐world

quanKKes,
 such
 as
 length,
 temperature,
 or

volume
are
called
real
numbers.
All
raKonal
and

irraKonal
 numbers
 make
 up
 the
 set
 of
 real

numbers.

 The
Vocabulary
of
Algebra…

VARIABLE

A
 leeer
 that
 stands
 for
 a
 number
 in
 a

mathemaKcal
 expression
 is
 called
 a
 variable,

because
its
value
can
vary.


In
the
expression,
4n
+
9,
n is
the
variable.


 The
Vocabulary
of
Algebra…

EXPRESSION

A
 mathemaKcal
 phrase
 made
 up
 of
 variables

and
 or
 numbers
 and
 operaKons
 is
 called
 an

expression.
An
example
is
2a
+
7.

 The
Vocabulary
of
Algebra…

TERMS

In
 an
 expression,
 the
 terms
 are
 the
 elements

separated
 by
 the
 addiKon
 or
 subtracKon
 signs.

In
the
expression
5a
+
7,
the
terms
are
5a
and
7.


 The
Vocabulary
of
Algebra…

COEFFICIENT

A
number
that
appears
before
a
leeer
in
a
term

is
a
coefficient.
For
example,
in
the
term
7a,
7
is

the
coefficient.


 The
Vocabulary
of
Algebra…

CONSTANT

A
 term
 that
 has
 only
 one
 number
 and
 no

variables
 is
 called
 a
 constant,
 because
 its
 value

doesn’t
 vary.
 In
 the
 expression
 9x
 –
 3,
 the

number
3
is
a
constant.

 Solving
Algebraic
EquaKons

To
solve
an
equaKon
means
to
find
the
value
of

the
variable
that
makes
the
equaKon
true.

There
 are
 at
 least
 three
 methods
 of
 solving

equaKons:
 guess  and  check,
 back‐tracking,
 and

do the same to both sides.
