+118608 how is algebra connected with maths???
The letters in algebra are called pronumerals.
Losely translated the pro means 'in place of'
and 'numerals' are numbers.
So the letters just represent numbers of unknown value.
In primary school you might write 3+ box = 8
then you put the answer 5 in the box.
Well algebra is just the same only you say 3+x=8 and then the answer is x=8
So algebra is a very important branch of mathematics :)
I hope that helps :)
