4 Approaches for Finding the Unknown - Inverse Operations, Distributive Property, Square Roots, and Factorization
Last updated 4/2025
English

What you'll learn

  • We will have the opportunity to learn about each other
  • You will learn what steps to take once you have identified the operations "bind" the unknown variable
  • You will learn what to do when the unknown variable is "bound" by addition
  • You will learn what to do when the unknown variable is "bound" by subtraction
  • You will learn what to do when the unknown variable is "bound by multiplication
  • You will learn what to when the unknown variable is "bound" by division
  • You will learn what to do when the unknown is "bound" by more than one operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) at once
  • You will be prepared for word problems relating to an unknown variable

Requirements

  • Don't let the lack of skills get in the way! If you’re ready to challenge yourself in this course, I’m here to help whenever you need assistance.
  • Familiarity with Like Terms. Check out my Mastering Like Terms course on Udemy is highly recommended, though not required, if you're comfortable with handling like terms
  • Knowledge of Working with Signed Numbers: A solid understanding of working with positive and negative numbers is necessary.
  • Basic Arithmetic Skills: You should have a grasp of basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
  • If you're confident in these areas, you'll be well-equipped to take on the course. Feel free to reach out if you need support at any time!

Description

Certainly! Here’s the polished version of your course description, focusing only on mathematics:

Course Overview:

In this course, we will explore the fundamental concepts of algebraic techniques, focusing on the essential skills you need to solve algebraic equations using inverse operations, the distributive property, square roots, and factorization. By the end of the course, you will:

Course Objectives:

  • Understand the importance of the steps involved in solving for the unknown in algebraic equations.

  • Gain the confidence to tackle similar equations independently, with minimal support.

  • Learn how to approach and solve word problems that involve algebraic equations, utilizing the techniques we cover in the course.

Skills Needed:

To succeed in this course, students should have a basic understanding of the following skills:

  • Basic algebra concepts

  • Multiplication and division

These foundational skills will help you fully engage with the course material and apply the concepts to solve algebraic equations with ease.

Who This Course Is For:

This course is perfect for students who are 18 years or older (per Udemy’s policy) and are looking to build a solid foundation in algebra:

  • Beginner students who are new to algebra and want to strengthen their understanding of the subject.

  • Anyone seeking to develop practical problem-solving skills in mathematics and physics.

  • Students preparing for standardized tests or entry-level algebra courses.

  • Learners interested in exploring different approaches to solving algebraic equations.



Who this course is for:

  • The course is open to individuals who are 18 years or older, as required by Udemy’s policy.
  • This course is ideal for those who feel they are falling behind in college algebra and need extra help.
  • For teachers needing an instructor while absent, it also serves as a resource for teachers who require support when they are absent, providing students with an instructor’s guidance.
  • For individuals looking for a different approach to solving algebraic equations, this course offers alternative methods for solving algebraic equations, catering to those who want a fresh perspective.
  • For students who prefer a simple approach to mathematics, this course presents math in an easy-to-understand manner for those who appreciate simplicity in learning.
  • Students needing additional support from an instructor can benefit from this course. If certain steps in the material are unclear, I am available for clarification, especially for online students who require extra guidance.
  • When parents supporting their children's education at home need a teacher by their side, this course is a helpful tool for parents who want to participate in their children’s education at home.
