You need to learn it, so you can learn Greatest Common Factor, which you need to reduce fractions.
Introduces the student to the fundamental concepts of algebra. Topics include the following types of expressions and equations: linear, rational, and radical. Other topics covered include exponents, functions and factoring
Trial and error is a fundamental method of problem solving. It is characterized by repeated varied attempts which are continued until success.SIMPLIFYING FRACTIONSsimplifying fractionsWhen you try to factor a polynomial the most taught method is trial and error. My manipulating the factors you see which terms and coefficients answer the question.
I'm going to differ on many thoughts. I believe that geometry is MUCH easier than Algebra 1 - especially the 2nd semester of algebra 1 which a good chunk of time was spent on factoring and quadratic equations. The Algebra used in geometry is fairly basic - lots of 1 and 2 step equations. By the second semester you will get into some more complicated algorthims when dealing with area and surface area but that is about as difficult as it will get. I bet you'll feel that your algebra skills increase after looking at things geometrically.
