    Algebra: Basic Equations

    Algebra is the branch of mathematics that uses symbols and letters to represent unknown values.

    Basic equations involve finding the value of a variable that makes an equation true.

    ### Key Concepts:

    - A variable is a letter that represents an unknown number (e.g., x or y).

    - An equation shows that two expressions are equal (e.g., 2x + 3 = 7).

    - Solving an equation means finding the value of the variable that makes the equation true.

    ### Solved Examples:

    1. Solve for x: 2x + 5 = 11:

    2x = 11 - 5 = 6, so x = 6 ÷ 2 = 3

    2. Solve for y: y - 3 = 7:

    y = 7 + 3 = 10

    3. Solve for x: 3x - 4 = 2:

    3x = 2 + 4 = 6, so x = 6 ÷ 3 = 2

    4. Solve for z: 5z + 10 = 25:

    5z = 25 - 10 = 15, so z = 15 ÷ 5 = 3

    5. Solve for x: 4x/2 = 6:

    2x = 6, so x = 6 ÷ 2 = 3

    ### Real-World Applications:


    - Algebra is used in engineering to calculate forces, loads, and materials needed in construction.

    - In economics, algebra is used to calculate profit, loss, and break-even points for businesses.

    - In medicine, algebra is used to calculate dosages of medication based on body weight and other

    factors.
