Question

Given a long algebraic equation, what are some strategies that you can use to make simplifying and evaluating the equation more efficient and accurate? How do inverse operations help solve algebraic equations? Give a real-world scenario where this might be modeled.

Answer 1

1. use PEMDAS to do the problem in the correct order, put like terms together
2. Inverse operations help by plugging the value back into the equation and ensuring you have the right answer.
3. Construction workers may do the inverse to make sure they have the correct measurements for walls or something.

Answer 2

factorization and simplification

Explanation:

Algebraic equations can be long and complicated. This results in the equations being complicated in themselves. There are several methods that are used to solve the long complicated equations. These involve the following methods:

Factorization - factorization factors out the common factors and allows the equation to be solved.

Simplification - this is an operative that allows the reduction of the equation to the lowest terms so that it can be solved.
