How To's in Algebra Expressions
by: Karin

Hi Naomi,

Simplifying algebraic expressions is a definite prerequisite for Algebra 1.

There are a few skills that you will most likely need to know in order to simplify algebraic expressions:

1. Many times you will need to use the distributive property.

2. Most often, you will need to combine like terms.

Since algebraic expressions do not contain an equal sign, you are not "solving". You are simplifying the expression to the least amount of terms.

A lesson on simplifying algebraic expressions can be found here:

Hope this helps,
Karin
