Algebra QUIZ #1

We are having our first quiz on Monday, August 16. It will involve section 1.3 of the text book. Extra practice for this section can be found on p. 739.
Remember the order of operations:
1. Parentheses
2. Exponents
3. Multiplication and division
4. Addition and subtraction.
Remember to follow the same order of operations within the parentheses! 
If there are exponents inside the parentheses, do those first, then multiplication and division, then addition and subtraction.
If there are nested parentheses, always work out the content of the innermost pair and then move outward.
If you are solving a fraction which has operations in the numerator and/or denominator, complete those operations first and place the results in the same part of the fraction, numerator or denominator, before solving the fraction.
