What are some examples of a similar terms in algebra?
Term (mathematics) From Kathleen Valencia of Republic Central Colleges (Angeles City)A term is a mathematical expression which may form a separable part of an equation, a series, or another expression.[edit]In elementary mathematics, a term is either a single number or variable, or the product of several numbers or variables, separated from another term by a + or − sign in an overall expression. For example, inDefinition3 + 4x + 5wyz3, 4x, and 5wyz are all terms.In the context of polynomials, sometimes term is used for a monomial with a coefficient: to 'collect like terms' in a polynomial is the basic operation of making it a linear combination of distinctmonomials.A series is often represented as the sum of a sequence of terms.In general mathematical use, however, term is not limited to additive expressions. Individual factors in an expression representing a product are multiplicative terms. Indeed, individual elements of any mathematical expression may be referred to as terms. Terms are numbers separated by the operational signs of addition and subtraction in an expression. For example, in 6 + 3x - 2, 6,3x, and 2 are all terms.Terms also appear in logic. A basic definition is two numbers and an operation[edit]Specific names for termsaddition and subtractionAddendMinuend and subtrahendare the first and second terms, respectively, in subtractionmultiplication Factor. In a multiplication of two factors, the first is called the multiplicand and the second is called the multiplier. divisions and fractions The top of a division is called the numerator (or dividend), and the bottom is called the denominator (or divisor).term value the value of the term such as the term value of 8 is 8.
What is the meaning of the symbol delta equal to?
Delta as a mathematical symbol usually means "change". It's usually used the same way in physics and chemistry, though it's sometimes used in chemical equations to represent heat.
How do you write an algebraic expression?
Say you had the letter X and you had to times it by 3 then add two the algebraic expression would look like this: 3X + 2 You sometimes need to remember bidmas which helps you remember which part of the sum you do 1st B racets I ndicies D ivision M ultiplication A ddition S ubtractraction Division and multiplication can go the other way around and that's the same as addition and subtraction. If you have to change the algebraic expression back it would be like this 5(x+y) _____ that would be X + Y x 5 / 7 7

Sometimes
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.

Simplify, possibly!
Mathematical sentence that compares expressions that are equal?
It is called an equation. Sometimes it is called an equality to differentiate from inequalities such as x > 10.
What is a mathematical phrase involving at least one variable and sometimes numbers and symbols are called?
An expression.
What is different about equation and expression?
An equation is a collection of terms that equal another collection of terms An expression is just a collection of terms that sometimes can be simplified
How can algebraic expressions be simplified?
In many ways. It really depends on the algebraic expression. If several terms are added/subtracted, you can usually combine similar terms (terms that have the same combination of variables). If variables are multiplied, you can combine the same variable, adding the corresponding exponents. Sometimes expressions get simpler if you factor them; sometimes you have to multiply out (in other words, the opposite of factoring). Quite frequently, you have to use a combination of methods to simplify expressions. Take an algebra book, and look at some of the examples.
What is the expression of three minus the product of two times a and five?
That could be interpreted in different ways. Sometimes "and" means "together with," sometimes "and" means "plus." 3 - 5(2 x a) or 3 - 10a simplified The algebraic expression can be: 3 - (2 * a * 5). The difficulty is in the phrase "two times a and five". The assumption of 2*a*5 may be incorrect since "and" implies addition. If so, depending on how the question is understood, the answer can be one of 3 - (2 * a + 5) or 3 - (2 * a) + 5 or even 3 - (2 * (a + 5)), each of which would give a different answer. That is why we use the parenthesis in the mathematical expressions ;)
What do expressions which use numbers or other symbols and an equal sign mean?
In mathematics, such expressions indicate that the value of the expression to the left of the equal sign has the same value as the expression to the right of the equal sign. In some cases, it can also be interpreted to mean that the expression on one side of the equal sign can be used in place of the expression on the other side of the equal sign (say in manipulating algebraic expressions). In computer languages, the equal sign is sometimes also used to indicate that the value of the expression to the right of the equal sign is to be transferred to the location indicated by the expression to the left of the equal sign. The expression to the left of the equal sign is usually a single variable that represents a memory location.
