4.+Elementary+Algebra

=Algebra Basics: (Elementary Algebra is 17% of ACT Math) = Ten problems will cover early Algebra subjects such as functions, substitution, polynomials, using factoring to solve quadratic equations (Ex. x2+x-2=0), and linear inequalities with one variable (Ex. 3x-1<0).

These topics are organized in terms of increasing difficulty: 1. Substitution 2. Simplifying Algebraic Expressions 3. Writing Expressions & Equations 4. Solving Linear Equations 5. Multiplying Binomials 6. Inequalities According to Sparknotes - There are many ways to answer most algebra problems. You can use algebra—setting up and working out equations—or you can plug numbers into equations to try and avoid using algebra. Trying to solve problems with algebra is more demanding, but can take less time. Examples for each can be found at @http://www.sparknotes.com/testprep/books/act/chapter10section3.rhtml
