The most important component of a physical structure is a solid foundation on which the rest of the structure sits. a strong fou
ndation allows buildings to last longer and withstand many outside forces. just like the foundation of a building, a strong foundation for algebra is critical for success and allows you to extend your understanding to more complex mathematical and real-world situations. what are some of the foundational, or key, concepts of algebra that you’ve learned so far?
The foundational concept of algebra is to use the alphabetical letters to find the unknown number.
Algebra is the concept that uses the alphabetical letters such as x, y, z, etc. to calculate the unknow numbers. here the letters are also called as variables. The values that are known in the expression as termed as constants.
The general operations performed on the algebra is
Addition = x + y
Subtraction = x - y
Multiplication = x * y
Division = x / y
Here the alphabets x and y are called variables.
Order of operations:
The order of operation in algebra is given as follows
Perform all the operations inside the brackets
Perform the operations on roots and exponents
Perform all the division and multiplication operations moving from left to right
Perform all the addition and subtraction operations from left to right.
