Algebra is a branch of mathematics that uses variables (like x or y) to represent numbers in equations. Here's the basic idea:
Variables: A letter (like x) that stands for a number we don't know yet.
Equation: An expression with an equals sign (e.g., x + 3 = 7). We can solve for x by finding the value that makes the equation true.
Solving Equations: To solve an equation, we need to isolate the variable (get it alone on one side). For example, to solve x + 3 = 7, subtract 3 from both sides to get x = 4.
