ALGEBRA
Defined as a branch of mathematics
which generalizes the facts in
arithmetic.
In the language of algebra, letters
along with numbers and operation
symbols are used to create
expressions.
VARIABLE
Can stand for different numbers
at different times.
Represents any number from a
given replacement set.
EXAMPLES:
 Any letter in the ENGLISH
ALPHABET such as X, Y, Z, A,
B, and C.
x+7
b – 4ac
2
REPLACEMENT
SET
The set of values of
the variable.
SUBSTITUTION
Replacing a variable
by a constant.
EXAMPLES:
 let x ={1, 2, 3} replacement set

x+7
x= 1 x=2 x=3
x+7 x+7 x+7
1+7 2+7 3 +7
8 9 10
CONSTANT
A symbol which has
exactly one number in
its replacement set.
EXAMPLES:

 7,
4, and 1 1.
 = 3. 141592654…
SYMBOLS OF GROUPING
