Here is some pro tips, I take algebra 1, and I’m in middle school too.
x * x = x^2
If you see anything like (x + 5)(x - 5), solve using FOIL, (front, outer, inner, last), it’s basically the distributive property for four numbers and x’es.
Distributive property is a must know.
And also, if you are feeling nervous, remember, even if you fail the leap test, it doesn’t make you less of a intelligent, kind, and caring person.
