For example, if the length of a football pitch is L and its
width is b, then the formula for the area A is given by
A= L ×b
This is an algebraic equation
...

The total resistance, RT , of resistors R1 , R2 and R3
connected in series is given by
RT = R1 + R2 + R3
This is an algebraic equation

The temperature in Fahrenheit, F, is given by

F = C + 32

where C is the temperature in Celsius
...

If C = 100◦C, then F = × 100 + 32

If, say, a, b, c and d represent any four numbers then in
algebra:

...
00009-0

(a) a + a + a + a = 4a
...

(b) 5b means 5 × b
...

(c) 2a + 3b + a − 2b = 2a + a + 3b − 2b = 3a + b
Only similar terms can be combined in algebra
...

In addition, with terms separated by + and − signs,
the order in which they are written does not matter
...
(Note that the first term, i
...

2a, means +2a
...
(Note
that − × − = +)
(e) (a)(c)(d) means a × c × d
Brackets are often used instead of multiplication
signs
...

(f ) ab = ba
If a = 2 and b = 3 then 2 × 3 is exactly the same
as 3 × 2, i

Here are some worked examples to help get a feel for
basic operations in this introduction to algebra

Find the sum of 4x, 3x, −2x and −x

4x + 3x + −2x + −x = 4x + 3x − 2x − x
(Note that + ×− = −)
= 4x
Problem 2

...


Add x − 2y + 3 to 3x + 4y − 1
...


Subtract a − 2b from 4a + 3b
...


From a + b − 2c take 3a + 2b − 4c
...
From x 2 + x y − y 2 take x y − 2x 2
...

...


Simplify bc × abc

5x+3y + z + −3x + −4y + 6z
= 5x + 3y + z − 3x − 4y + 6z

bc × abc = a × b × b × c × c

= 5x − 3x + 3y − 4y + z + 6z

= a × b 2 × c2

= 2x − y + 7z

= ab2 c 2

Note that the order can be changed when terms are separated by + and − signs
...

ab × b2c × a = a × a × b × b × b × c
= a 2 × b3 × c

Simplify 3x y − 7x + 4x y + 2x

3x y − 7x + 4x y + 2x = 3x y + 4x y + 2x − 7x
= 7xy − 5x

Simplify ab × b2c × a

= a2 b3 c

Problem 13
...
Multiply 2a + 3b by a + b
Each term in the first expression is multiplied by a, then
each term in the first expression is multiplied by b and
the two results are added
...

2a + 3b
a+b
Multiplying by a gives
Multiplying by b gives

2a 2 + 3ab
2ab + 3b2

Adding gives

2a 2 + 5ab + 3b2

Thus, (2a + 3b)(a + b) = 2a2 + 5ab + 3b2

(iii) The divisor is then multiplied by 2x, i

2x(x − 1) = 2x 2 − 2x, which is placed under the
dividend as shown
...

(iv) The process is then repeated, i
...
the first term
of the divisor, x, is divided into 3x, giving +3,
which is placed above the dividend as shown
...
The remainder, on subtraction, is zero,
which completes the process

Laws of indices

The laws of indices with numbers were covered in
Chapter 7; the laws of indices in algebraic terms are
as follows:
(1) am ×an = am + n

For example, a 3 × a 4 = a 3+4 = a 7

am
= am−n
