Math

I've started Algebra early. It started out easy with "Life of Fred: Beginning Algebra" by Stanly F. Schmidt, PHD. It has started getting harder when I learned the distributive property. Transposing has been fairly easy.

Distributive Property:

The distributive property is where there is parenthesis with a number outside the parenthesis. The number outside the parenthesis is multiplied by whatever is in the parenthesis. An example of this look like this: 7(y+5). This is where the distributive property comes in. Multiply the 7 by both y and 5. Your answer should look like this: 7y+35. That's the distributive property.

Now for Transposing:

Transposing is easy. This is an example: y-2=8. This is where transposing comes in. Move the 2 and the subtraction sign and turn the subtraction sign into an addition sign. Your answer should look like this: y=8+2... OR y=10.

There you go. Two examples of beginning algebra!
