Finding the value of a unknown   Example :  2x + 6 = 0  { take 6 to the other side of the equal sign and it change's to a negative meaning it becomes a negative-6 } 2x = 0 -6  Meaning: 2x = -6 { divide both sides with 2 so we can have x alone one side }  Meaning: 2x /2 = -6/2 x = 3  Try out:   3y + 4 = 7 p - 4 = 3p + 4

Dividing like and unlike terms   -Like terms and unlike terms can divide each other  Example: 6x⁴ y⁶ ÷ 3x²y³                    : 6 ÷ 3  { First we Divide the numbers }                    :Secondly { Subtract the powers of the like                       bases } x powers  = 4-2 and                     y powers  =6 - 3 Leave us with: 2x²y³ Try out:   8a³b² ÷ 4ab

Like terms and unlike terms can multiply each other  https://images.app.goo.gl/aSXcekgMV1YV2PU98 Example : 3 y ² × 2 y ²                     : 3 × 2 =6   ( multiply the number)                  : y ² × y ²   ( add the exponent of the like base, 2 + 2 = 4 )                  (NB!! the y or the Base  you bring it down the way it is)   Meaning : 6 y ⁴ Example: (2 x y ) ²  (everything inside the bracket is being raised to the power 2) Meaning:  (2 x y ) ²  =  2 ²    x ²    y ²                  : 4 ² x ² y ² Try out:      a).  2k² ×  - 4k⁶ b).  6x²(2x)   c).  (4ab)²

  we can only add OR substrate like terms   -3x - 4x since both signs are negative we add 3 and 4 then we keep the negative sign ( -3 + -4 = -7 ) = -7x    3x + 6y - 2x + y Example :  3x + 6y - 2x + y  Identify the like terms each term take along the sign infront of it  Meaning : 3x - 2x + 6y + y               x + 7y Try out: 5p -3r + 2p - 4r               3x² + 2x - 5x² - 2x

  Like terms   -terms have the same power ams and variables   Example : 2y, -6y, 4y                   2x², x²                    x²y⁴, x²y⁴ Unlike terms  -terms have powers and variables that differ  Example : 2x, 2xy, y²                   x³, x², x⁴                  2y, xy Identifying like and unlike terms 

What  is a Term   - is made up of the coefficient, variable/unknown and constant .                    example : 3x + 6y  -   z  +  4                               3x is  One term    6y  is One term z    is One term 4  is   One term          Algebraic terms are separated by [ +,- ] How they are Seperated  2a - 3b + 5c  x  +   y  -  z x² - xy + xz Algebraic terms are joined by { ×, ÷, (brackets), fractions and √ } How they are Joined   zy × 5yz 2 ( x + 4 ) 8c²   ÷ 2c x √ 9y   content://media/external/downloads/1000153523
