1. Introduction to Algebra
Algebra is a branch of mathematics dealing with symbols and rules for manipulating those symbols.
It provides a way to represent problems or situations using equations and expressions.

2. Key Concepts
• Variables – symbols that represent unknown values (e.g., x, y).
• Constants – fixed values like numbers 2, 5, 10.
• Expressions – combinations of variables, constants, and operations.
• Equations – statements showing equality between expressions.
3. Algebraic Expressions
Examples of expressions include: 2x + 3, 5y - 7, x² + y².
They can be simplified using rules of arithmetic and algebra.

4. Equations
Equations involve expressions connected by an equals sign. For example, 2x + 3 = 7. Solving
means finding the value of the variable that makes the equation true.
5. Formulas
Formulas are special equations showing relationships between variables.
Formula Meaning

A=l×w Area of rectangle


C = 2πr Circumference of circle
d = rt Distance = rate × time
6. Solved Examples
Example 1: Solve 2x + 3 = 7 → 2x = 4 → x = 2.
Example 2: Solve 3y – 5 = 10 → 3y = 15 → y = 5.
Example 3: If 4a = 20, then a = 5.
7. Practice Questions
Q1. Simplify: 2x + 3x – 4.
Q2. Solve: 5y + 7 = 22.
Q3. Write the expression for: twice a number plus 6.
Q4. If x = 3, evaluate 2x² + 5.
8. Summary
Algebra allows us to represent real-life situations using symbols and equations. By learning how to
simplify expressions, solve equations, and apply formulas, students build a strong foundation for
advanced mathematics.
