Concept explainers

Percentage
A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.
Algebraic Expressions
In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.
Numbers
Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.
Subtraction
Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.
Addition
Before we begin to understand the addition of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.

For Exercises 8–10, a. Simplify the expression. Do not rationalize the denominator. b. Find the values of x for which the expression equals zero. c. Find the values of x for which the denominator is zero. 4x(4x – 5) – 2x² (4) 8. -6x(6x + 1) – (–3x²)(6) (6x + 1)2 9. (4x – 5)? - 10. V4 – x² - -() 2)
For Exercises 39–42, multiply the radicals and simplify. Assume that all variable expressions represent positive real numbers. 39. (6V5 – 2V3)(2V3 + 5V3) 40. (7V2 – 2VIT)(7V2 + 2V1T) 41. (2c²Va – 5ď Vc) 42. (Vx + 2 + 4)²
In Exercises 126–129, determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. 126. Once a GCF is factored from 6y – 19y + 10y“, the remaining trinomial factor is prime. 127. One factor of 8y² – 51y + 18 is 8y – 3. 128. We can immediately tell that 6x? – 11xy – 10y? is prime because 11 is a prime number and the polynomial contains two variables. 129. A factor of 12x2 – 19xy + 5y² is 4x – y.
