8. The lesson is about simplifying
algebraic fractions. An algebraic fraction
is a fraction where the numerator and/or
the denominator are algebraic
expressions. If a problem involves solving
an expression that involves algebraic
fractions, then it is necessary to have the
skills to be able to manipulate and
simplify these expressions.
9. Simplify – reduce the expression into a
simpler form.
Expression – a set of terms combined using
the four operations.
Cancel – simplify a fraction by dividing both
top and bottom by the same amount.
Common factor – numbers or terms that
divide exactly into a number or expression.
