To simplify a polynomial expression, apply the below-mentioned steps:

• First, simplify the expression by adding/subtracting the like terms.
• Also, wherever possible, use the distributive property.

Another interesting type of ratios is the proportional ratios. If two distinct ratios can be simplified into the same fraction, then they are said to be proportional ratios. Suppose we have two ratios as \(1 \ : \ 2\) and \(2 \ : \ 4\).

Simple Interest is a basic technique for determining the interest rate for a loan/principal amount. Simple interest is a model utilized in a lot of places, like banks, finance centers, automobile loans, etc. Whenever you make your loan payment, in the beginning, it goes toward the monthly interest, then the rest pays on the amount of the principal.

Check the entities in the given problem for writing ratios. Then divide both sides of the ratio to simplify it further. Suppose there are \(14\) apples and \(7\) oranges. So, the ratio of apples to oranges would be \(\frac{14}{7} \ \ = \ \ 14:7 \ \ = \ \ 2:1\).

If we plot an integer on the number line, then the absolute value of that integer would be its distance from zero. Since distance can’t be negative, therefore the absolute value of any number is always a positive quantity.

In mathematics, sometimes we are presented with a set of complex equations containing lot of operations. So, to sequentially and correctly solve the equation, we apply the order of operations. The order of operations tells the sequence in which the multiple operations in the mathematical expressions should be solved.

To add or subtract two integers, follow these steps:

• In the first case, if two integers have the same sign (either both are positive or both are negative), add up those integers and put the common sign.

In mathematics, a decimal can be defined as a number which has two parts: a whole part and a fractional part, and these two parts are separated by a decimal point. The whole part always represents a number greater than one, while the fractional part, i.e., the part after the decimal, always represents a number less than one.
