Factorizing
Find factors of 8

2x4
4x2
8x4
Expanding
"Expanding" means removing the ( ). but you
have to do it the right way!
( ) are called “Parentheses” or “Brackets”
In Algebra putting two things next to each
other usually means to multiply.
ℎ ℎ
Simplifying
One of the big jobs we do in Algebra is "simplification
What is the Simplest Form?
write it in the most compact or efficient manner,
without changing the value of the expression.
In general, it is simpler if it is easier to use, Simplifying
uses much the same skills as solving equations.
Expand the top part first.
Group the like (same) terms where possible
Real World Relevance Word Problems
1. Lets say you need to buy a NEW Xbox 360. You have R800 to
spend on everything. You know a new system costs R400 and
extra controller R40. Assuming a game costs R60 how many
games could you get?
2. Bob has R1,000 budgeted to pay for a bonus for his assistant, Carol.
He wants to pay her such that after the business pays her and pays
for the taxes for her, he has spent exactly R1,000. The business must
pay taxes in the amount of 7.45% of her bonus. How much of a
bonus will she get?
Using algebra, we can say that Carol's bonus (C) plus the company's tax liability (T) equals R1,000.
C + T = 1000
We also know that the company's tax liability (T) equals 7.45% of Carol's bonus (C), so;
T = 0.0745 x C
Substituting, C + (0.0745 x C) = 1000
C = 930.67
