This episode of GED Connection focuses on Algebra. Algebra is a symbolic language used to describe relationships among numbers. On the GED test you'll be expected to know how to use algebra to simplify equations, and how to solve for variables. You'll also need to know how to work with signed (positive and negative) numbers. Some of the important terms discussed in this program are: equation, balance, unknowns, variables, and inverse operations. Other important concepts such as isolating the variable, simplifying the equation, commutative properties, distributive properties, and positive and negative numbers are also discussed.
