Algebra 1 Revision Sheet

1. 📌 Essentials

  • Variables are symbols representing unknown quantities.
  • Expressions combine numbers, variables, and operations; simplified by combining like terms.
  • Equations are statements of equality; solved by isolating the variable.
  • Properties of equality: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division.
  • Inequalities express ranges; solved similarly to equations, with sign considerations.
  • Graph of y=mx+by = mx + b: straight line with slope mm and y-intercept bb.
  • Functions relate inputs to outputs; notation: f(x)f(x).
  • Domain: all possible input values; Range: all possible output values.
  • Systems of equations: multiple equations solved simultaneously, often via substitution or elimination.
  • Word problems translate real scenarios into algebraic models.
