## What is Basic Algebra?

Basic algebra is the course of study that follows pre-algebra, building upon your understanding of core concepts and exploring more advanced forms of algebra. This course will adequately prepare you to study intermediate algebra or algebra 2 later down the line.

Within basic algebra itself, you can expect to explore things like fractions, linear equations, linear systems, exponent rules, and the Pythagorean Theorem. You will also learn how to determine the square roots of rational numbers, multiply fractions and whole numbers, dividing fractions and mixed numbers, reading linear relation graphs, and much more.

StudyPug has content available for all the topics mentioned above, plus a wealth of materials on all other aspects of basic algebra. If you need help isolating areas for improvement within this subject, have a look at our basic algebra problems and work on them. This will allow you to determine which areas of algebra you need to work on.

The skills learnt in basic algebra can greatly improve your problem solving skills outside of math class, and it can be utilized in many professions too. For example, did you know that basic algebra can make video games more fun!?

## How to Do Basic Algebra?

Understanding basic algebra may seem like a tough thing to get your head around, but once you know where to begin, the task becomes much simpler. If you're looking to solve basic algebra problems, you must first adhere to the general rules that apply to solving equations. You should attempt to solve the math problems that exist within the parentheses first. Once that has been completed, you can then tackle the exponents. Upon completing these steps, you can then multiply, divide, add, and then subtract where needed to solve the equation.

If you're having difficulty in remembering these rules of algebra and the sequence in which you should tackle them, use the acronym "PEMDAS" to help you. PEMDAS stands for the following:

1. Parentheses
2. Exponents
3. Multiply
4. Divide
6. Subtract

Additionally, if you're struggling with basic algebra homework or revision, you should consider visiting our basic algebra course for a wide collection of easy practice materials, step-by-step examples, and a math tutor online 24/7.

With most things in life, practice makes perfect and StudyPug has 1000's of lessons across a wide range of math help topics to help you along your way. The content on the website mirrors the same content found in modern textbooks and the current school curriculum, making StudyPug the perfect online basic algebra tutor at a fraction of the cost!

## What Grade Is Basic Algebra Taught?

Basic algebra tends to be taught to students in 9th or 10th grade. A prerequisite for this course would be pre-algebra or successful completion of 8th grade math. As mentioned above, upon completing basic algebra, students can progress to Algebra 2 or intermediate Algebra.

You don't need to currently be studying basic algebra to benefit from our fantastic content though. If you're in a lower grade and want to get ahead of next year's content, or you're a mature student looking for revision materials ahead of a re-sit exam, StudyPug's vast collection of content will take you through all the relevant topics you can expect to cover in a basic algebra program at a pace that suits your specific learning style.

If you're in grade 9 or 10 and you're currently studying basic algebra, consider using StudyPug as a companion to your studies. Developing a strong foundation of the basics now will greatly benefit you down the line when it comes time to studying more advanced forms of algebra.

## Is Basic Algebra Hard?

As mentioned above, basic algebra can seem intimidating at first, which is why it's necessary to develop a firm understanding of PEDMAS to succeed. To assist you in this matter, StudyPug has built an extensive basic algebra tutorial library that covers practically every question you would expect to have in relation to PEDMAS and all other areas of basic algebra.

At StudyPug, we understand that every learner has their own unique way of learning and to that end, we have decided to build our content with a "basic algebra for dummies" approach that starts from the ground up, assumes no prior knowledge, and covers all areas of the subject matter. Each section of our content has also been thoughtfully designed to flow naturally from one to the next so that you can build off what you've just learned, introducing more complex elements when you're ready.

If you choose to subscribe to our platform, you'll have access to our basic algebra content and every lesson available on our site. If you're looking for a specific element of basic algebra, we've got you covered. Furthermore, there's no need to cover topics you already know in order to access the topics you're unfamiliar with. You can customize your learning experience by choosing the content that is relevant to you.

## How to Learn Basic Algebra?

Get yourself into a good study habit and aim to set aside an hour or two each evening to go over the basic algebra content that you've been taught in class. Reviewing this content will help you to better digest the information and more importantly, to retain it!

If you find it hard to stay focused when it comes to studying, or find it difficult to work from a textbook, StudyPug offers an extensive collection of online revision aides and test prep materials that are delivered in an easy to follow collection of video tutorials.

• Catherine Martinez
Basic Algebra, The Seton Keough High, Halethorpe, MD

I am generally good at math, but I get stuck sometimes when I do the homework. But I don't need a tutor and I don't want to wait until I see my math teacher the next day. I need something that can let me understand the questions fast. Your videos are just all I need!

• Samantha Gauthier
Basic Algebra, Cleveland High, Seattle, WA

I always like to study ahead but it's really hard to do that just by myself. So my dad told me to try you guys out. Studying ahead is so easy with StudyPug because I can choose the things I want to learn and skip those I already know. I will for sure keep using you guys.

• Gary Butler

It is so much better to watch videos than reading examples in textbook. StudyPug is just like my algebra textbook but with sounds and images. I can watch the videos and learn for the whole afternoon without falling asleep. My math marks got a lot better!
