In the world of business, algebra isn't a theory; it's the language of money, profit, and loss.

Concept 1: Cost Functions. C(x) = V(x) + F. Your total cost is your variable costs plus your fixed costs. Pure algebra.

Concept 2: Revenue Functions. R(x) = p*x. Your revenue is the price per unit times the number of units sold.

Concept 3: Profit Functions. P(x) = R(x) - C(x). The most important equation. Profit is Revenue minus Cost.

Concept 4: Break-Even Point. This is where P(x) = 0, or R(x) = C(x). The point where you are no longer losing money.

Concept 5: Supply and Demand. These are often linear equations. Where they intersect is the market equilibrium price.

Concept 6: Linear Programming. Using systems of inequalities to find the optimal solution, like maximizing profit with limited resources.

Business algebra is about modeling real-world situations to make smarter, more profitable decisions.

It removes the guesswork and replaces it with logical, data-driven strategy.

If you want to speak the language of the CEO and the CFO, you must speak the language of algebra.
