There are no really major issues in the way of learning and doing algebra. A few things which can cause problems are being unable to understand the use of algebra in real problems and thus being unwillin gto understand and just forgetting of vital facts. I'd say a facility with symbolic material and analytic skills.
I am in grade 8, and I am learning negative exponents, variables, etc. I am doing grade 10 algebra.
The same way you do for simple algebra. The complication on each side don't change the rules; you are still doing algebra.
no they should be starting pre algebra in 6th grade no they should be starting pre algebra in 6th grade
It's not impossible.... if you do know what you are doing.
No. Pre-Algebra is taught to provide the ability to do certain mathematical equations before doing the more challenging math of Algebra I.
By doing the work in the book.
An equality.
If someone has algebraic sense it means that they are adept at doing algebra. Algebra is the unifying thread of all of mathematics.
In algebra z is a variable. What z equals would depend on the math problem you're doing and what the answer to that problem is.

I recommend that you take the Pre-Algebra before taking Algebra I. Taking the Pre-Algebra has a strong potential of helping you understand Algebra I much more easily and much better. A strong background and understanding of Algebra can be the basis for doing very well in later math courses.
The answer depends on what exactly you mean by doing an equation!
