Algebraic Functions - Terms that Add To M and Multiply to N - with Negatives (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on the skill of solving for pairs of integers that satisfy given conditions for summation and multiplication, incorporating negative numbers. Specifically, students practice identifying pairs of integers, 'a' and 'b', that meet specified sums ('a + b = M') and products ('a * b = N'). This basic yet crucial algebraic skill forms part of a broader introduction to polynomials and quadratics. The problems require analyzing expressions with both positive and negative outcomes, enhancing the foundational understanding needed for more complex algebraic functions.
