An algebraic expression is an expression which may contain a variable, a constant, or a combination of both. It
may also include the four operation symbols and different grouping symbols. It is separated by a plus (+) or
minus (−) sign.
A Linear equation in one variable is an equation of the first degree. It is a mathematical statement that shows
two algebraic expressions are equal. A Linear equation in one variable can be written in the form.
There are properties of equality that we can use in solving an equation. These are the following:
1. Reflexive Property - It states that any number or expression is always equal to itself. (a = a)
2. Symmetric Property - It states that the two expressions on the left and right side of the equation can be
interchanged without affecting the equation. (If 𝒂 = 𝒃, then 𝒃 = 𝒂)
3. Transitive Property - If two expressions are each equal to a third expression, then these three expressions
are equal to each other. (If 𝒂 = 𝒃 and 𝒃 = 𝒄, then 𝒂 = 𝒄)
4. Substitution Property - It states that if 𝒂 = 𝒃, then 𝒂 can be substituted for 𝒃 and 𝒃 can be substituted for 𝒂
in any equation.
5. Addition Property of Equality (APE) - It states that adding the same number on both sides of the equation
will give an equal sum. (If 𝒂 = 𝒃, then 𝒂 + 𝒄 = 𝒃 + 𝒄)
6. Multiplication Property of Equality (MPE) - Multiplying the same number on both sides of the equation will
give an equal product. (If 𝒂 = 𝒃, then 𝒂𝒄 = 𝒃𝒄)
𝑵𝑶𝑻𝑬 : Why are subtraction and division not mentioned on the properties?
Always remember that subtracting means adding the negative of what is subtracted. Which means 𝒂 − 𝒃 is
the same as 𝒂 + (−𝒃). Example: If 𝑥 + 5 = 9, then 𝑥 + 5 + (−𝟓) = 9 + (−𝟓) is the same as 𝑥 + 5 − 𝟓 = 9 − 𝟓.
An inequality is a statement in which the two algebraic expressions are not equal, that is either one quantity is
greater than or less than the other. It is a linear inequality if the variable is on the first degree.
A solution to an inequality is the same in equation that is when substituted to the variable will make the
statement true. It also uses properties.
Properties of Inequality
3) Multiplication Property of Inequality (MPI) - The inequality symbol does not change if the same positive
number are multiplied to both sides of an inequality.
- Solution of an inequality can be graphed using a number line. If the symbol is either < or >, we use an open
circle to indicate that the given number is not included in the solution. And if the symbols are ≤ or ≥, we use
a solid circle which means the given number is included in the solution. If the inequality symbols are < 𝑎𝑛𝑑
≤, we draw a line extending to the left from the solid/open circle. If the inequality symbols are > 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ≥, we
draw a line extending to the right from the solid/open circle.
Solving Linear Equations in One Variable using Addition Property of Equality (APE)
- Using Addition Property of Equality (APE), our goal is to think of a number that can be added on both sides
of the equation to be able to isolate the variable on one side of the equal sign.
Solving Linear Equations in One Variable using Multiplication Property of Equality (MPE)
- Let us recall, Multiplication Property of Equality (MPE). It states that if 𝑎 = 𝑏, then 𝑎𝑐 = 𝑏𝑐. That is
multiplying the same number on both sides of the equation in order to isolate the variable on one side of it
and be able to find the value of the unknown or variable.
In solving word problems, one must know how to formulate an equation or inequality based on the given
problem. The following steps can help us in solving a problem.
Geometry comes from two Greek words geo and metron. Geo means earth and metron means measure.
Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with the study of properties, measurement, relationships of
point, line, plane, angles and other figures in space.
Line is an infinite set of points extending in opposite directions. It is represented by a straight edge with arrows
on both ends.
SAME RAY Two rays with the same endpoint and extending to
the same direction.
An ANGLE is a figure formed by two noncollinear rays that have a common endpoint called vertex.
The measure of an angle refers to the amount of opening between the sides of the two rays. Protractor is the
measuring instrument used to measure angles. Degree is the unit for measurement.
ACUTE ANGLE An angle that measures greater than 0 but less than
90.
OBTUSE ANGLE An angle that measures greater than 90 but less than
180.

Transversal Lines is a line that intersects two lines in two distinct points.
1.) Interior Angles are interior angles on the same side of transversal line.
Examples: ∠3 and ∠5, ∠4 and ∠6
2.) Exterior Angles are exterior angles on the same side of transversal line.
Examples: ∠1 and ∠7, ∠2 and ∠8
3.) Alternate Interior Angles are interior angles on the opposite sides of transversal line.
Examples: ∠3 and ∠6, ∠4 and ∠5
4.) Alternate Exterior Angles are exterior angles on the opposite sides of transversal line.
Examples: ∠1 and ∠8, ∠2 and ∠7
5.) Corresponding Angles are angles whose one is in the interior and the other one is in exterior of the same
side of transversal line.
Examples: ∠1 and ∠5, ∠3 and ∠7, ∠2 and ∠6, ∠4 and ∠8

II. Kinds of Polygons according to diagonals.
CONVEX POLYGON If all its diagonals are in the interior of the polygon.
CONCAVE POLYGON If not all or some of its diagonals are in the interior of
the polygon.
• An interior angle of a polygon is an angle formed by two consecutive sides of a polygon and whose interior is
also part of the interior of the polygon.
• The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is (n − 2) ∙ 180° where n is the number of sides.
• The measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon is (n−2) ∙ 180/n where n is the number of sides.
• An exterior angle of a polygon is an angle outside the polygon formed by one of its sides
and the extension of an adjacent side.
• The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon, one for each vertex, is 360°.
• The measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon is 360°/n
where n is the number of sides.
• The adjacent interior and exterior angles are supplementary; Hence, their measures will
add up to 180°.
