Definition of algebra for class 8 students.

What's given in the problem

 Algebra uses letters and symbols to represent numbers and quantities in equations and
expressions.

Helpful information

 An algebraic expression is a combination of variables, constants, and mathematical


operations.
 An equation is a statement that two expressions are equal.

How to solve
Explain the basic concepts of algebra using simple terms and examples.
Step 1 …Define algebra

o Algebra is a branch of mathematics where letters represent numbers.


o These letters are called variables.
o Variables can take on different values.
o For example, in the expression

x+2x plus 2

𝑥+2

xx

is a variable.

Step 2 …Explain algebraic expressions

o An algebraic expression combines numbers, variables, and operations.


o Examples of algebraic expressions are:

2x+32 x plus 3
2𝑥+3

y−5y minus 5

𝑦−5

3a+2b−73 a plus 2 b minus 7

3𝑎+2𝑏−7

Step 3 …Explain equations

o An equation states that two expressions are equal.


o It uses an equals sign (=).
o Examples of equations are:

x+5=10x plus 5 equals 10

𝑥+5=10

2y−3=72 y minus 3 equals 7

2𝑦−3=7

3a+1=2a+43 a plus 1 equals 2 a plus 4

3𝑎+1=2𝑎+4

Step 4 …Explain solving equations

o Solving an equation means finding the value of the variable.


o This value makes the equation true.
o For example, in

x+5=10x plus 5 equals 10

𝑥+5=10

x=5x equals 5

𝑥=5

is the solution.

o Because

5+5=105 plus 5 equals 10

5+5=10

Solution
Algebra is a part of mathematics that uses letters to represent numbers in expressions and
equations.
