Algebra is a branch of mathematics dealing with symbols and the rules for manipulating those symbols. In elementary algebra, those symbols (today written as Latin and Greek letters) represent ...

An equation of the form \(y = mx + c\) where \(m\) and \(c\) are numbers, gives a straight line when values of \(x\) and corresponding values of \(y\) are plotted on a grid. A straight line is a ...

There is a direct proportion between two values when one is a multiple of the other. For example, \(1\text{cm} = 10\text{mm}.\) To convert \(\text{cm}\) to \(\text{mm}\), the multiplier is always 10.

You guys may have noticed that recently, I have been showing you a lot of algebraic equations. I really don't like to use, or generate, algebraic equations. Sometimes they're much messier than just ...
