This guide introduces the concepts of variables and algebraic expressions, essential for understanding algebra. A variable is a symbol representing an unknown value, while an expression combines numbers and variables using arithmetic operations. Learn how to express mathematical relationships, such as sums and quotients, and how to evaluate them using specific values. This resource also emphasizes the importance of proper notation, including using parentheses and following the order of operations (PEMDAS). Discover examples and tips to enhance your understanding of these fundamental concepts.
