oh! its easy..algebra is used to find for unidentified value. ex.think that you have $1000.I bought goods $250.howmuch the balance I have? so balance I dont know.so,I use a letter called un known variable.here we say "B" for balance so..we can formulate a equation for this; $1000-$250=B $750 =B the balance is $750. this is the basis for algebra.we can develop this to find out more complicative cases. if you understand this reply me.i'lltell you all the things which you are requred to know. best regards dear..
