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

Basic Algebraic Properties of Real Numbers The numbers used to measure real-world quantities such as length‚ area‚ volume‚ speed‚ electrical charges‚ probability of rain‚ room temperature‚ gross national products‚ growth rates‚ and so forth‚ are called real numbers. They include such number as ‚ ‚ ‚ ‚ ‚ ‚ ‚ and . The basic algebraic properties of the real numbers can be expressed in terms of the two fundamental operations of addition and multiplication.

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 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

Real Number Properties In this assignment we were asked to solve three expressions using the properties of real numbers in order to do so. Each of the real number properties are essential in solving algebraic expressions. Although you may not need to use all of them in the same expression to solve you will need to use at least one. In this paper I will demonstrate the use of the properties and show the steps needed to solve each part of an expression. Understanding the properties of algebra

For example‚ z‚ b3‚ [pic]. a product of a number and one or more variables (which may be raised to powers). For example‚ 3x‚ – 4yz‚ 7a2 b3 . Coefficients In a term that is the product of a number and one or more variables‚ the number is called the numerical coefficient or simply the coefficient. For example‚ in
