It took me several minutes to determine each factor as I was not given a specific way to do it. However‚ in my sophomore year of highschool‚ I was given certain rules and “tricks” to solve equations that

Algebra is the building block that is used in advanced math‚ for instance‚ statistics‚ calculus and may be useful in physics and chemistry. Algebra can be used in our daily life and we are often oblivious to this fact‚ therefore‚ having a basic knowledge of algebra is a must. However‚ algebra is not an easy subject to master and students must practices daily for them to understand the topic. Even though 8th graders learn algebra for about 9 months‚ this is not nearly enough for students to completely
