2. Objectives
At the end of the lesson, students should be able
to:
differentiate between like terms and unlike
terms
add or subtract linear algebraic expressions
simplify linear algebraic expressions
3. Expression vs. Equation
Expression Equation
True for all values of x. True for some values of x.
Common key terms: Common key terms:
Simplify Solve
Expand Example:
Factorise 5x – 4 = x
Example:
8x + 5y – 3x – 5
5. Like Terms vs. Unlike Terms
Like Terms Unlike Terms
Algebraic terms that Terms that are not like
have the same terms
variables with the
same power.
6. Four Operations
Addition Subtraction
Only like terms. Only like terms.
5x + x = 6x 2x – 3x = -x
x + 2y = x + 2y a – 2ab = a – 2ab
Multiplication Division
Both like and Both like and
unlike terms. unlike terms.
x 2x = 2x2 x3 ÷ x = x2
a bc = abc 4x ÷ 2y = 2x/y
