(b)
To name:
Briefly and describe each of the four major processes of algebra.

Answer to Problem 1CR
Solution:
simplify, evaluate, factor, and solve.
Explanation of Solution
There are four fundamental algebraic processes.
1) Simplify- carry out all operations according to the order-of-operations agreement and write the result in a prescribed form.
2) Evaluate- replace the variable(s) with specified numbers and then simplify.
3) Factor- write the expression as a product.
4) Solve- find the replacement(s) for the variable(s) that make the equation true.
