Simplifying Expressions Understanding the properties of algebra is important in learning how to simplify algebra expressions. When simplifying and solving algebra problems‚ or as it is called‚ simplifying expressions‚ one must be able to understand the distributive property. The distributive property‚ sometimes called distribution‚ is used to apply multiplication across two or more terms inside of parentheses and results in the removal of the parentheses. The removal of the parentheses via

RUNNINGHEAD: SIMPLIFYING EXPRESSIONS In arithmetic we use only positive numbers and zero‚ but with algebra‚ we use both positive and negative numbers. The numbers we use in algebra are called the “real numbers” or integers {… ‚ -3‚ -2‚ -1‚ 0‚ 1‚ 2‚ 3…}. In this paper I am going to explain the properties of real numbers using three examples. I will also be explaining how to solve these examples step by step‚ all while discussing why these properties are so important to begin

Simplifying Expression MAT 221 Alicia Davis March 8‚ 2014 When solving algebraic equations‚ there are many properties that need to be identified to solve the equation. Some of the properties to be identified are distributive which helps remove the parentheses‚ and then to simplify you must combine like terms. Another term you need to identify is coefficients‚ which is for example in an equation could be 4a in 4a+7=12. To solve equations you must be able to identify all of the

Simplifying Expressions Jennette M. Bird MAT:221 Introduction to Algebra Instructor: Mariya Ivanova February 1st‚ 2014 Simplifying Expressions In this paper‚ I will be using the properties of real numbers to simplify the given expressions for this assignment. I will demonstrate how to simplify expressions using the distributive property method‚ combining like terms‚ and by removing parentheses. I have broken down each problem to its lowest terms by using the proper

to the essential question listed below. How can an expression written in either radical form or rational exponent form‚ be rewritten to fit the other form? The number inside the radical is the numerator and the number outside the radical sign is the denominator in the rational exponent form‚ if thats right then you just do the same thing with the exponent to find the radical form. Or by by recalling the rule Rational Exponents Radical Expressions The numerator of the rational exponent becomes the

Alan Holmes Jr. Ms. Maureen Cunningham ENG 090‚ 4501 26 January 2011 What is expression? When I sit back and actually think about all the things that people do to express their thoughts‚ feelings‚ and beliefs‚ it really amazes me at the things people will do. It all starts when you are a young kid and you just have to tell everyone how you feel or what you saw. When you are young you will say exactly what is on your mind even if it is not in the best interest of others. Even though it seems
