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.
