Given a long algebraic equation, what are some strategies that you can use to make simplifying and evaluating the equation more efficient and accurate? how do inverse operations solve algebraic equations? give a real-world scenario where this might be modeled.

1. use PEMDAS to do the problem in the correct order, put like terms together
2. Inverse operations help by plugging the value back into the equation and ensuring you have the right answer.
3. Construction workers may do the inverse to make sure they have the correct measurements for walls or something.
