📘 Algebra Notes

1. What is Algebra?
Algebra is a branch of mathematics that uses symbols (like x, y) to
represent numbers and relationships.

2. Key Concepts
 Variables: Letters that represent unknown values (e.g., x, y)
 Expressions: Combinations of variables and numbers (e.g., 2x + 3)
 Equations: Statements that two expressions are equal (e.g., 2x + 3
= 7)
 Solving Equations: Find the value of the variable that makes the
equation true.

3. Basic Rules
 Combine like terms: 2x + 3x = 5x
 Use inverse operations to solve:
Example: x + 5 = 10 → x = 10 - 5 → x = 5

1. Expressions and Equations


 Expression: A combination of numbers, variables, and operations
(e.g., 3x2+2x−53x2+2x−5)
 Equation: A statement that two expressions are equal (e.g., 3x+2=113x+2=11)

2. Solving Linear Equations


Steps:

1. Simplify both sides.


2. Move variables to one side.
3. Isolate the variable.
4. Solve and check.

Example:
Solve 2x−3=72x−3=7
→ 2x=102x=10
→ x=5x=5

3. Factoring

 Common Factoring: 6x+3=3(2x+1)6x+3=3(2x+1)


 Quadratic Factoring: x2+5x+6=(x+2)(x+3)x2+5x+6=(x+2)(x+3)
4. Quadratic Equations
Standard form: ax2+bx+c=0ax2+bx+c=0
Solve using:

 Factoring
 Completing the square

Quadratic formula:
x=−b±b2−4ac2ax=2a−b±b2−4ac
