Basic Of Algebra

Basics of Algebra cover the simple operation of mathematics like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division involving both constant as well as variables. For example, x+10 = 0. This introduces an important algebraic concept known as equations. The algebraic equation can be thought of as a scale where the weights are balanced through numbers or constants.

Basic Algebra

The algebra for class 6 covers all the basic concepts. Terms related to basic algebra skills are mentioned below.

• Exponent
• Expression
• Polynomial (Monomial, binomial and trinomial)
• Like terms and Unlike terms
• Constants

An equation is a statement which implies two same identities separated by “=” sign. Whereas an expression is a group of different terms separated by ‘+’ or ‘-‘ sign.

Like terms are those terms whose variables and their exponents are same.

Basic Algebra Rules

The basic algebra rules are mentioned below:

• The Symmetry rule
• The commutative rules
• The inverse of adding
• Two rules for equation
• Basic Algebra Operations

The general arithmetic operations performed in the case of algebra are:

• Addition: x + y
• Subtraction: x – y
• Multiplication: xy
• Division: x/y or x ÷ y

where x and y are the variables.

The order of these operations will follow the BODMAS rule, which means the terms inside the brackets are considered first. Then, roots and exponents are operated on second priority. Solve all the division and multiplication operations and later addition and subtraction.

Basic Algebra Formula

a² – b² = (a – b)(a + b)
(a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b²
a² + b² = (a – b)² + 2ab
(a – b)² = a² – 2ab + b²
(a + b + c)² = a² + b² + c² + 2ab + 2ac + 2bc
(a – b – c)² = a² + b² + c² – 2ab – 2ac + 2bc
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(a – b)³ = a³ – 3a²b + 3ab² – b3
