ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS

Learn the parts and the difference from equations, then take the quiz!

What is an Algebraic Expression?

An Algebraic Expression is a math phrase made of numbers, letters, and operations (like +, -, ×, ÷). It does NOT have an equals sign (=).

Example: 5x + 3

VARIABLE

Variable

A letter representing an unknown value (e.g., x, y)

COEFFICIENT

Coefficient

The number multiplied by the variable (e.g., 5 in 5x)

CONSTANT

Constant

A fixed number standing alone (e.g., 3 in 5x + 3)

TERM

Term

Parts separated by + or - signs (e.g., 5x and 3)

EXPRESSION 3x + 5
EQUATION 3x + 5 = 20
The equals sign (=) is the ONLY difference! An equation can be solved, an expression cannot.
Let's Break It Down

Expression: 4x² + 7x - 3

1st Term: 4x² → Coefficient is 4, Variable is x

2nd Term: 7x → Coefficient is 7, Variable is x

3rd Term: -3 → This is the Constant

Total of 3 terms in this expression!

Mean

MATH QUIZ WHAT IS THE MEAN ? Learn it the easy way, then test yourself with this quiz! What is the MEAN? The MEAN (also called average) is the simplest way to find the typical value of a group of numbers. Think of it as the "middle ground" when you add everything up and share it equally. 1 ADD THEM ALL Add every number together 2 DIVIDE BY COUNT Divide by how many numbers there are Example Numbers: 3, 5, 7 Step 1: 3 + 5 + 7 = 15 Step 2: 15 ÷ 3 = 5 So the MEAN is 5 ! Quiz Time! Read each question carefully before answering. You got this! PART 1 Multiple Choice 1 What is the formula for finding the MEAN? A Add all then multiply by the count B Add all then divide by the count C Subtract all then divide by the count D Multiply all then divide by the count 2 What is the MEAN of 3, 5, 7? A 3 B 7 C 5 D 15 3 What is the MEAN of 10, 20, 30? A 15 B 20 C 25 D 30 4 If the MEAN of 4 numbers is 6, what is the...

Addition and Subtracting Monomials

MATH QUIZ ADDING & SUBTRACTING MONOMIALS Learn what monomials and like terms are, then take the quiz! What is a Monomial? A math expression with only one term . It can be a number, a variable, or a number multiplied by variable(s). Examples: 5x, -3y², 8 What are Like Terms? Monomials that have the exact same variables raised to the exact same powers . Only the coefficients can be different! Examples: 4x and 9x Are these Like Terms? 3x² and 7x² LIKE TERMS 5ab and -2ab LIKE TERMS 4x² and 4x NOT LIKE TERMS 3a and 3b NOT LIKE TERMS Golden Rule: You can ONLY add or subtract LIKE TERMS . If they are not like terms, just leave them as they are! How to Add / Subtract Add: 4x + 5x → (4 + 5)x = 9x Subtract: 8y² - 3y² → (8 - 3)y² = 5y² Mix: 3a + 2b - a → (3 - 1)a + 2b = 2a + 2b Tip: Just combine the numbers (coefficients) and keep the variable part the same! Quiz Time! Read caref...
