## Addition and subtraction in algebra

CLASS ASSIGNMENT 1

• Discover more and more about addition and subtraction in ALGEBRA ….
• When we do addition and subtraction in Algebra, we can only add together or subtract like terms (terms of the same type) from one another.
• e.g. 3 a + 5 a = 8 a ( a is the same for both terms)
• e.g. 3 a + 5 a ² (cannot be added together, because one term is a and the other a ² - not of the same type)
• remember: -8(+5) means: -8 x (+5) = -40(two signs must not be placed next to one another; multiply the two signs by one another)

1. Can you still do the following with integers?

1.1: -8 - 12 + 8

1.2: 7 - (+8) - (-6)

1.3: 15 - (-9) + (+7)

1.4: 2(-6) - 5(-6)

1.5: 50 - 70 + 15

2. WOW! Look at this! Quite easy….

2.1 2 a + 2 a = (yes, they are alike; I can add)

2.2 3 a - 6 y + 7 a + 15 y = (look for like terms)

3 a + 7 a =

-6 y + 15 y =

(now write the answer alongside the question)

2.3 Add the following expressions together:

2.3.1: 6 a - 7 b - 9 c ; -7 a + 15 b - 29 c

2.3.2: -9 a ² - 16 a + 17 b ; -17 a ² -40 ; -29 b + 30

3. How about subtracting? Look at the following example:Subtract 6 from 15 . How would you write this? 15 - (+6) = 15 - 6 = 9

Explanation: (-) x (+) = (-) THEREFORE: 15 - 6

Look at the following: Subtract -6 a + 5 b from 16 a - 3 b

It will look like this: 16 a - 3 b - (-6 a + 5 b )

= 16 a - 3 b + 6 a - 5 b (multiply (-) within the brackets)

= 16 a + 6 a - 3 b - 5 b

= 22 a - 8 b

• Important: Begin by deciding which expression should be written first!

3.1 Calculate each of the following:

3.1.1 Subtract the second from the first: -7 a + 3 ; 6 a - 9

3.1.2 Subtract -7 a ² - 5 a + 8 from 18 a ² - 15

3.1.3 Reduce -15 $x$ ² - 7 $x$ + 20 by -6 $x$ ² + 76

HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT 1

1. Add the following expressions together: -3 p ² - 2 p - 5 ; 6 p ² + 8 ; -15 p - 28

2. Subtract -5 p ² - 3 p from 8 - 7 a ²

3. Subtract 6 a - 8 y from 1

4. 3 a 3 + 6 a - 7 a - 5 - 2(8 a 3 - 4 a ² + 17 a + 8) - 15 a

5. Increase 6 p + 15 y - 3 a b y -13 y - 18 p + 34 a

6. By how much is -8 a ² + 6 a bigger than 15 a ² + 3 a - 5 ?

7. By how much is 4 a ² - 5 a + 1 smaller than 16 a ² + 3 a - 7 ?

8. What must be added to 5 a ² + 3 a to get -3 a + 6 ?

The nanotechnology is as new science, to scale nanometric
brayan
nanotechnology is the study, desing, synthesis, manipulation and application of materials and functional systems through control of matter at nanoscale
Damian
Is there any normative that regulates the use of silver nanoparticles?
what king of growth are you checking .?
Renato
What fields keep nano created devices from performing or assimulating ? Magnetic fields ? Are do they assimilate ?
why we need to study biomolecules, molecular biology in nanotechnology?
?
Kyle
yes I'm doing my masters in nanotechnology, we are being studying all these domains as well..
why?
what school?
Kyle
biomolecules are e building blocks of every organics and inorganic materials.
Joe
anyone know any internet site where one can find nanotechnology papers?
research.net
kanaga
sciencedirect big data base
Ernesto
Introduction about quantum dots in nanotechnology
what does nano mean?
nano basically means 10^(-9). nanometer is a unit to measure length.
