Expressions and Formulas
When evaluating an expression, follow the standard order of operations: first calculate exponents, then multiply and divide from left to right, then add and subtract from left to right. BUT: parentheses always override the standard rules. Always work within parentheses first.
Review and understand the key terms: variable, expression, monomial, constant, coefficient, polynomial, term, like terms, binomial, trinomial.
