Algebra Module

Introduction to Algebra

Algebra is a branch of mathematics that uses symbols, letters, and numbers to represent
relationships and solve problems.

Module Objectives

- Understand algebraic expressions and their components.

- Perform operations on algebraic expressions.

- Solve linear equations and inequalities.

- Translate verbal statements into algebraic expressions.

- Apply algebra in real-life problem solving.

Lesson 1: Algebraic Expressions

1.1 What is an Algebraic Expression?

An algebraic expression is a combination of numbers, variables, and operations.

1.2 Parts of an Expression

- Variable – a letter that represents an unknown value.

- Constant – a fixed number.

- Coefficient – the number multiplied by a variable.

- Term – parts of an expression separated by + or −.

1.3 Simplifying Algebraic Expressions

Examples:

4x + 3x = 7x

2a - 5a = -3a
Lesson 2: Operations on Algebraic Expressions

Addition and Subtraction: add or subtract like terms.

Multiplication: use the distributive property.

Division: divide coefficients and variables when possible.

Lesson 3: Linear Equations

A linear equation is an equation whose highest exponent of the variable is 1.

Example: 2x + 5 = 11

Lesson 4: Inequalities

Symbols: <, >, ≤, ≥

Solve similarly to equations but reverse the inequality when multiplying or dividing by a
negative number.

Lesson 5: Word Problems

Translating statements into algebraic expressions.

Practice Exercises and Answer Key included.
