Here we have an equation that says 4x − 7 equals 5, and all its parts:
✓ A Variable is a symbol for a number we don't know yet. It is usually a letter like x or y.
✓ A number on its own is called a Constant.
✓ A Coefficient is a number used to multiply a variable (4x means 4 times x, so 4 is a
coefficient)
✓ Variables on their own (without a number next to them) actually have a coefficient of
1 (x is really 1x)

Remember :
The Distributive Property is an algebraic property that is used to multiply a single value
and two or more values within a set of parenthesis. The distributive Property States that
when a factor is multiplied by the (sum/addition) Or Subtraction of two terms, it is
essential to multiply each of the two numbers by the factor, and finally perform the
addition operation. This property can be stated symbolically as:
A ( B+ C) = AB + AC
A ( B- C) = AB - AC
"Like terms" are terms whose variables are the same , also have the same exponent
( power)
In other words, terms that are "like" each other.
Note:
✓ the coefficients (the numbers you multiply by, such as "5" in (5x) can be different.
✓ Like terms can be combined By adding or subtracting .
Example: 7x + x
They are both like terms, so you can just add them:
7x + x = 8x
Example 1 :
Simplify : 6(2+4x)
|Page8
Form # QF01-43e
Example 2 :
Solve for Y , 8( y -6) = 64
➔Also you can divide both sides by (8) , where the equation becomes ( y-6) =8
Example 3 :
Solve for (x) , 4x + 18 -3 = 3x – 45 +5x
