Unit 1: Basic Algebra Concepts
We begin by quickly reviewing the basic concepts you will need to understand as you begin your study of algebra. If you have taken a pre-algebra course, you may be familiar with some of these concepts. With practice, every student, regardless of background, can grasp these concepts.
Completing this unit should take you approximately 26 hours.
Upon successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:
- evaluate order of operations with absolute value;
- distribute and combine like terms;
- evaluate algebraic expressions;
- solve linear equations (simple, dual side variables, infinite or no solution, and rational coefficients);
- solve linear absolute value equations (simple and dual side);
- solve algebraic formulas with several variables for one of the variables; and
- solve applications of linear equations (age, integers, and triangles).
