Share View PDF | Print View | Views: 1778 |
Your maths exam would definitely have something which involves algebra. You would need to understand how to use and manipulate algebraic expressions to answer their questions.
There are many rules in using algebra:- An algebric expression involves letters which represent values.
There is an equals sign which shows you what the subject of the
expression is equal to.
- To rearrange or solve an expression you may need to cancel
things out. This may involve a calculation to one side of the
expression. However, what you do to one side of the expression you must
do the same to the other side.
- Before doing anything you should simplify an expression so that there are no fractions and no brackets.
- Multiplying out brackets is important. When multiplying out two brackets you must remember that everything has to be multiplied together: (a+b)(x+y)=ax+ay+bx+by
