introduction to algebra explain

Algebra is the branch of Maths that uses alphabetical letters to find unknown numbers. These letters are also called variables. ... Algebra involves the simple operation of mathematics like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division involving both constant as well as variables. For example, x+10 = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

In its most general form, algebra is the study of mathematical symbols and the rules for manipulating these symbols; it is a unifying thread of almost all of mathematics. It includes everything from elementary equation solving to the study of abstractions such as groups, rings, and fields.

H!

Here's what algebra is:

Algebra is a branch of mathematics dealing with symbols and the rules for manipulating those symbols. In elementary algebra, those symbols (today written as Latin and Greek letters) represent quantities without fixed values, known as variables. ... The letters x and y represent the areas of the fields.

In simple words: a generalization of arithmetic in which letters representing numbers are combined according to the rules of arithmetic.

$25

step-by-step explanation:

25 - 4.50 = 20.5

20.5 / 2 = 10.25

10.25 + 10 = 20.25

20.25 - 12.50 = 7.75

therefore the answer is $25 as shown as the first number.
