GED® Math: Algebra Essentials
A complete, beginner-friendly walkthrough of the algebra you need for the SAT® and GED®: linear equations, systems, quadratics, exponents, and radicals. Every lesson and every practice question comes with a full step-by-step solution.
📚 Course Curriculum
A linear equation has a variable raised only to the power of 1 (no \(x^2\), no \(\sqrt{x}\)). The goal is always the same: isolate the …
Open trial session →A system is two equations that share the same two unknowns, for example:. Method A - Elimination: Add the two equations so one variable cancels. …
Open trial session →A quadratic equation has the form \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\) with \(a \neq 0\). Method 1 - Factoring: Rewrite as a product …
Open trial session →Exponent rules you must know:. Example: \(7^2 + 3^2 = 49 + 9 = 58\). Radicals (roots) are fractional exponents: \(\sqrt{a} = a^{1/2}\) and \(\sqrt[3]{a} …
