Father of algebra Al-Khwarizmi Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi was a 9th-century Muslim mathematician and astronomer. He is known as the “father of algebra”, a word derived from the title of his book, Kitab al-Jabr
Algebra Variable Constant Coefficient Exponent Base
Variable: A variable is a letter that represents a number. Coefficient: A coefficient is a number or symbol that is multiplying a variable. Constant: A constant is a quantity that does not change in value, i.e. a number by itself. Term: A constant, a variable or a constant multiplied by a variable are all considered terms. Algebraic Expression: This is an expression that contains one or more numbers, one or more variables, and one or more arithmetic operations. Polynomial: Polynomials have variables that have whole number powers. Definitions
Examples 2x-3 5z-5 3y 2 +5 a+b+c+5
Algebraic expression An algebraic expression is a mathematical phrase that consists of numbers, variables, and arithmetic operations. These expressions are used to represent mathematical relationships and can be simplified or evaluated by substituting specific values for the variables. Algebraic expressions do not contain equality or inequality symbols
Like Unlike terms Like terms are terms that have the same variable part or are constants. The variable part of like terms must be identical, including the same variable(s) and the same exponents on those variables. The coefficients (the numerical part in front of the variable) can be different, but the variables must match exactly. Unlike terms are terms that have different variable parts. Unlike terms cannot be combined directly because their variable components are different

Algebraic sentence Algebraic sentences give the relation between two algebraic expressions Following symbols are used in an algebraic sentence = < >
Statement Sentences which are either true or false are called Statement
Open statement An open sentence uses a variable, so it is not known if it is true or false

Algebraic equation Two algebraic expression form a algebraic equation when they are related with each other by the symbol of equality (=)
Linear equation An equation in one variable where the exponent of the variable is 1, is called a linear equation in one variable
Solution of linear equation The solution to a linear equation is the value or set of values for the variable(s) that makes the equation true
Rules to solve an linear equation The same is added on both side The same is subtracted from both side The same is multiplied to both side The same is divided to both side Main goal is to isolate the variable
