They are algebraic symbols or known as unknown number. There is no true value for them. The value of algebraic symbols are based on equations
ie. 1+x = 2
First, we isolate the x by canceling the +1 FROM BOTH SIDES(Balance method) by -1 ON BOTH SIDES.
1+x-1 = 2-1
So we are left with the x on the left side, and a single number on the right side. Therefore, our calculation is complete.
x = 1
More complex cases would be
2y-3 = 45
First, we need to isolate the algebraic symbol, which is 2y (yx2) by +3 ON BOTH SIDES
2y-3+3 = 45+3
2y = 48
WE ARE NOT DONE! 2y=48 is still an equation. Therefore, to isolate the y, we need to divide BOTH SIDES by 2
2y/2 = 48/2
y = 24
There is no true or absolute or definite value for algebraic symbols like x,y,z,a,c,t,h,d etc. They are used to represent unknown numbers.
Hope this helped!
Notice the picture below
x = 1 and y = -1
now... recall your SOH CAH TOA
now.. what's the value for "r" or the radius? well, using the pythagorean theorem
The volume of a rectangular prism is (length) x (width) x (height).
The volume of the big one is (2.25) x (1.5) x (1.5) = <em>5.0625 cubic inches</em>.
The volume of the little one is (0.25)x(0.25)x(0.25)= 0.015625 cubic inch
The number of little ones needed to fill the big one is
(Volume of the big one) divided by (volume of the little one) .
5.0625 / 0.015625 = <em>324 tiny cubies</em>
=================================================
Doing it with fractions instead of decimals:
The volume of a rectangular prism is (length) x (width) x (height).
Dimensions of the big one are:
2-1/4 = 9/4
1-1/2 = 3/2
1-1/2 = 3/2
Volume = (9/4) x (3/2) x (3/2) =
(9 x 3 x 3) / (4 x 2 x 2) =
81 / 16 cubic inches.
As a mixed number: 81/16 = <em>5-1/16 cubic inches</em>
Volume of the tiny cubie = (1/4) x (1/4) x (1/4) = 1/64 cubic inch.
The number of little ones needed to fill the big one is
(Volume of the big one) divided by (volume of the little one) .
(81/16) divided by (1/64) =
(81/16) times (64/1) =
5,184/16 = <em>324 tiny cubies</em>.
