A monomial is an algebraic expression that contains only one term, such as $$5x$$ or $$3xy^2$$ .

A binomial is an algebraic expression that contains exactly two terms, such as $$x + 2$$ or $$3a - 4b$$ .

A trinomial is an algebraic expression that contains exactly three terms, such as $$x^2 + 3x + 2$$ .

What is the difference between a term and a factor?

A term is a single mathematical expression, while a factor is a number or variable that multiplies with others to form a term. For example, in $$3xy$$ , both $$3$$ and $$x$$ are factors.

How do you combine like terms?

To combine like terms, add or subtract their coefficients while keeping the variable part the same. For example, $$3x + 5x = 8x$$ .

What is the process of simplifying an algebraic expression?

Simplifying an algebraic expression involves combining like terms and reducing the expression to its simplest form.

What is the difference between an expression and an equation?

An expression is a combination of numbers, variables, and operations without an equality sign, while an equation states that two expressions are equal.

What does it mean to evaluate an algebraic expression?

Evaluating an algebraic expression means substituting values for the variables and performing the operations to find a numerical result.

What is a variable in algebra?

A variable is a symbol, usually a letter, that represents an unknown value in an expression or equation.

What is the distributive property?

The distributive property states that $$a(b + c) = ab + ac$$ , meaning you can distribute a factor across terms in parentheses.

What is a constant in an algebraic expression?

A constant is a fixed value that does not change, such as $$5$$ or $$-3$$ in the expression $$2x + 5$$ .
