Basic Algebra Helper (Educational)

What Is Algebra?

Algebra is a branch of mathematics that uses letters and symbols to represent numbers. These symbols are called variables and help us express relationships between values.

Common Algebra Terms

Variable: A symbol that represents an unknown value (e.g., x, y)
Constant: A fixed number
Expression: Combination of variables and numbers (e.g., 2x + 3)
Equation: Two expressions that are equal (e.g., x + 2 = 5)

Basic Algebra Rules

Same operations must be applied to both sides of an equation
Addition and subtraction undo each other
Multiplication and division undo each other

Simple Example

Equation: x + 4 = 10

Step: Subtract 4 from both sides

Result: x = 6
