Chapter 5 Concept Map

This document defines key terms in algebraic expressions: - An algebraic expression is a term or combination of terms using addition and/or subtraction operations involving variables and numbers. - Variables represent unknown quantities and can be letters. Algebraic terms are numbers or the product of a number and one or more variables. - Like terms have the same variables with the same powers, while unlike terms do not. - Algebraic expressions can be simplified by adding or subtracting like terms.
