Algebra Basics

... Algebra is quite an interesting topic, which many people struggle on, However I will explain the basics of it, the basics is that everything should be balanced in every equation question for example if there is a question of 2x+8=12x, you would need to make the xs balance in one side, whilst the number (being 8, here) is with its kind of numbers, so now the equation reads 8=12x-2x, as the 2x moves over it becomes from positive to negative, so it is 12x-2x which gives 10x, so now the equation is 8=10x So now 10 divide by 8= 10/8=5/4 as a fraction. Another example is 6+3x=12x-4 Balance the equation so its 6+4=12x-3x, which is 10=9x 9 divided by 10=9/10, and leave it as that. With this basic rule of algebra, it is compulsory that people who struggle on algebra should know this rule as the basics, and also by knowing the balance of equations such as

User Reviews of this Essay

What our users think of this essay:

"I'm not too sure what to make of this essay, but I'm just going to take it as a brief summary of very basic algebra. Essentially, your maths is solid (although you do drop a negative sign in your 12x + 9 = 4x - 8), but you do seem to waste words quite a bit. You can easily condense a lot of this into one or two examples, especially seeing as all of your examples are pretty much the same thing. The explanation at the end is mind-bogglingly long for what is essentially "divide both sides by 2". This needs quite a bit of work, with some more diverse examples to keep things interesting (why not try introducing fractions like 4x/3 + 5x = 7) or perhaps move on a little into simultaneous equations.
