Generally speaking, a letter in algebra refers to a variable, that is, it is a placeholder for any specific value that can be used in that equation.In algebra syntax, a number next to a variable, or a variable next to another variable, with no explicit arithmetic symbol between them, mean to multiply the two values.So:2aMeans to multiply the variable value of "a" by two.In your question:2aball values should be multiplied. So, the result would be 2 times the variable value of "a" times the variable value of "b".
In algebra, variables are represented by letters such as x. A variable could be any number. That number is the "value" of the variable. In an expression, you can choose a number to put in for x, and simplify to get a number which is the value of the expression. In an equation, you can solve for the value of x, which will be the value of x which makes the equation true.
Pre-algebra. Afterwards, it can be, in any order, Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-calculus, and Calculus.
In basic algebra a discrete variable is one that can only take on specific set of values. For example, if we were to say that X can only take on a whole value between 1 and 10, then X would be a discrete variable. On the other hand, a continuous variable is one that can take on an unlimited number of values. For example, if we were to say X can take on ANY value between 1 and 10, then X is called a continious variable. The important thing to note is that the range of a variable (the min and max values it can take) is different than whether it is discrete or continuous. Discrete only implies a fixed (and known) set of values is possible for a variable
A prism is not so much a concept in algebra, but a geometric shape.
any letter can be a variable
in algebra any letter really, however normally it's an x
d is part of algebra because it is a letter. Any letter in algebra is known as a variable. D is different from d in algebra. They are different.
Zero represents any value in algebra. This includes positive or negative numbers.
Any letter in the alphabet can be used to represent a variable in algebra.

The point of using letters in algebra is that they can stand for any number (or a range of numbers that are, as yet, unspecified). There is no specific letter allocated to a number.
What do you want it to mean. As a variable it can be used for any amount of any substance.
I don't know that the letter A has any special value in algebra. It is often used as a variable for the Area in story problems. Barring that, it can be whatever you want it to be. If it is in an equation, its value possibly could then be determined. In the instance of 2A=10, A=5. In the story problem, "What is the area, A, of a rectangle with a length of 6 ft and a width of 3 ft?" A=18 ft2.
If you're asking if it's extremely important to be skilled in algebra, no. However, I doubt any place would accept someone who failed or didn't take any algebra classes.
