An algebraic expression is a mathematical phrase that contains variables, numbers, and
operations. It represents a quantity or relationship that can be simplified or evaluated. Algebraic
expressions can include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and exponentiation.
- 2x - 7
- 3y + 5
- 4a^2 - 2b
- 2(x + 3)
- 5m/n
In these expressions, the variables (x, y, a, b, m, n) represent unknown quantities, and the
numbers and operations determine how these quantities are combined. Algebraic expressions
are used to solve equations, simplify mathematical problems, and represent real-world
situations.
