Each term in an algebraic expression is separated by plus & minus 5x + 4 = 12x has two different terms (5x, 4). Good answer. Actually the equation has three terms, 5x, 4 and 12x.

How do you do inequations?

By "inequations" I assume you mean "inequalities" because I can't think of anything else other than equations where the equation sign is crossed, and I don't think you mean that. Most algebraic operations work the same in equations and inequalities; one thing to be wary with is multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative number. Take the inequality 3 < 4. If you multiply both sides by -1, you get -3 < -4, which is incorrect; so, when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality, be sure to invert the inequality sign. Also, when the sign of an algebraic expression is ambiguous, I sometimes use the square of the expression, as the square of an algebraic expression not involving complex numbers will be positive; I do this to be a bit "surer" of the sign. However, this may introduce more problems, of which extraneous solutions are only the tip of the iceberg. Sorry for the rather unnecessarily verbose answer.

What is algebraic sum?

The term algebraic sum is used when the numbers you are adding include both positive an negative numbers. Ordinary sums are done with positive numbers only.


What is negative x plus 3x?

The expression "negative x plus 3x" can be simplified by combining like terms. Negative x can be written as -1x, so the expression becomes -1x + 3x. When you combine -1x and 3x, you get 2x. Therefore, the simplified expression is 2x.

Is every algebraic expression is a polynomial?

Not every algebraic expression is a polynomial. A polynomial consists of terms that are non-negative integer powers of variables, combined using addition, subtraction, and multiplication. In contrast, algebraic expressions can include terms with negative or fractional exponents, such as (x^{-1}) or (x^{1/2}), which do not qualify as polynomials. Therefore, while all polynomials are algebraic expressions, not all algebraic expressions are polynomials.
