Basic Algebra Lesson
What is Algebra?
Algebra is a branch of mathematics dealing with symbols and rules for manipulating them.
Solving Equations:
To solve an equation, perform the same operations on both sides until you isolate the variable.
Factoring:
Factoring breaks down expressions into simpler terms, such as (x – 2)(x + 3).
