This lesson consists of providing you with a Self-Tutorial on what is algebra, what are variables, constants, coefficients, terms, and expressions. I explain the use of proper notation, how to combine like terms, find the negation of an algebraic expression, how to evaluate an expression (by hand and by using your calculator), and finally, there is a VERY detailed section on how to translate English phrases into algebraic expressions. This video is not the full lesson, just the first 11 minutes of a 100 minute tutorial. To Rent or Buy this video, Click HERE to download.
