ric means of two numbers.
Using the properties and graphs of functions in solving equations
and inequalities. The interval method. Representing the solution sets
of equations and inequalities with two variables, and systems of such
equations and inequalities, in the coordinate plane.

from other areas of science and life. Interpreting results, taking real
limitations into account.
After studying algebra in basic school, students must be able to:
• form literal expressions and formulas based on the conditions
given in problems; perform number substitutions in expressions
and formulas, and carry out the corresponding computations;
substitute one expression for another; express one variable in
formulas in terms of the others;
• perform basic operations with powers with integer expo-
nents, with polynomials, and with algebraic fractions; fac-
tor polynomials; perform identity transformations of rational
expressions;
• solve linear, quadratic equations, and rational equations that can
be reduced to them, systems of two linear equations and simple
nonlinear systems;
• solve linear and quadratic inequalities with one variable and
systems of such inequalities;
• represent numbers as points on the number line;
• determine the coordinates of a point in the plane, to construct
points with given coordinates; represent the set of solutions to a
linear inequality;
