baba Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 right now we start algebric equations its too difficult to understand the difference between the methods of addition subtraction multiplication and division can any one explain in simple language
Primarygun Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Can you give us some examples which you are quite confused with? Here, not everyone has the experience of facing difficult questions during their elementary lessons.
the tree Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 What type of equations are you dealing with? I agree it's a lot easier to explain with specific examples or at least concepts than just general topics.
Mot Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Mathematical operators can be compared loosely to punctuation in written English. They help make the expression more understandable. There is little difference between subtraction and addition. One can usually substitute one for the other without penalty, but don't make the same assumption with multiplication and division because that substitution can open a whole can of worms. I am not going to go off on a tangent until I understand better what you are asking.
