titled “Basic Algebra Skills-Real numbers & Algebraic Equations‚ Exponents & Scientific Notation‚ Radicals & Radical Exponents‚ and Polynomials”. I chose this presentation because I felt I needed to remember algebraic equations‚ exponents and polynomials. I have not had algebra for many years so this presentation was a very good refresher. It reminded me about real numbers and algebraic expressions and square roots. It was good to be reminded about the steps you take in algebra to solve an equation
