2. Order of operations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

   [2] [3] Thus, in the expression 1 + 2 × 3, the multiplication is performed before addition, and the expression has the value 1 + (2 × 3) = 7, and not (1 + 2) × 3 = 9. When exponents were introduced in the 16th and 17th centuries, they were given precedence over both addition and multiplication and placed as a superscript to the right of ...

3. Expression (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expression_(mathematics)

   A formal expression is a kind of string of symbols, created by the same production rules as standard expressions, however, they are used without regard to the meaning of the expression. In this way, two formal expressions are considered equal only if they are syntactically equal, that is, if they are the exact same expression.

4. Cross-multiplication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-multiplication

   In mathematics, specifically in elementary arithmetic and elementary algebra, given an equation between two fractions or rational expressions, one can cross-multiply to simplify the equation or determine the value of a variable.

   For example, in the fraction ⁠ 3 / 4 ⁠, the numerator 3 indicates that the fraction represents 3 equal parts, and the denominator 4 indicates that 4 parts make up a whole. The picture to the right illustrates ⁠ 3 / 4 ⁠ of a cake. Fractions can be used to represent ratios and division. [1]

6. Equation - Wikipedia

   Some students studying math may develop an apprehension or fear about their performance in the subject. This is known as math anxiety or math phobia, and is considered the most prominent of the disorders impacting academic performance. Math anxiety can develop due to various factors such as parental and teacher attitudes, social stereotypes ...

   Simplification is the process of replacing a mathematical expression by an equivalent one that is simpler (usually shorter), according to a well-founded ordering. Examples include:

9. Irreducible fraction - Wikipedia

   In the second step, they were divided by 3. The final result, ⁠ 4 / 3 ⁠, is an irreducible fraction because 4 and 3 have no common factors other than 1. The original fraction could have also been reduced in a single step by using the greatest common divisor of 90 and 120, which is 30. As 120 ÷ 30 = 4, and 90 ÷ 30 = 3, one gets
