What to Focus On
- Algebra uses letters (variables) and numbers together.
- Variables can take different values.
- Algebra helps generalize arithmetic rules.
- Constants have fixed values (e.g., 5, -8, 3/4).
- Variables change their values (e.g., x, y, 5x).
- Any expression combining a constant and a variable is a variable.
- A term can be a number, a letter, or a combination.
- Terms are separated by + or – signs.
- A constant term has no variable.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Variables like x or y always stand for positive numbers.
5x means 5 + x, not 5 × x.
The expression 3x + 5 has three terms: 3, x, and 5.
