Would anybody mind telling me what these problems are called? I was 10 minutes late to class today and never heard the teacher say what these were called.

 

 

 

 

Example 1: 

 

n + 1   -   3

2n + 4     3n

 

 

Example 2:

 

     K + 10        /    1  

K^2 + 5K - 36      K - 4

I don't see a problem ... just single variable equations

I don't see a problem ... just single variable equations

Thank youuu, I think

an.... equation? lol

What he provided does not represent an equation. An equation needs to be solvable,

 

i.e.

x + 5 = 10

 

what he provided would simply be an expression, not an equation. 

Equations end with an = sign

lmao what grade you in and why is it this easy

lmao what grade you in and why is it this easy

Thanks for downgrading my confidence 49.4 points, but 11th grade...

These are polynomial functions that involve simple algebraic manipulation in order to simplify. They are not equal to a value so you can not solve them, however there are many ways you can simplify them using the rules of algebra.

 

Your teacher and textbook probably refer to this as 'Polynomial Simplification'

 

 

 

ALL i can say is.....

 

 

Stick with this shit until you learn it and really learn it. If you miss concepts or move through it haphazardly, GG. Everything you'll do in higher math classes, as well as advanced sciences, biology, chem, physics, involves knowing how to manipulate numbers and use basic rules of algebra such as the ones being taught in your class now.

My lil brother is doing the same kinda stuff right now and was asking me for help the other day, I see why you would be confused man he basically asked the same thing when he got home. you get it figured out?
