I have no choice it's my summer assignment... We'll have a test on this stuff too. The first day!
Oh. So, since you've never seen any of this material before and only just got the packet, I would guess that your family moved and you had to switch into this school about a week ago...? :?:
You might want to have your parents conference with the school district about course placement. I know, from experience (my parents moved every year or two), that students are often placed in classes for which they aren't yet ready, for no better reason than "...but that's what we
do here in this grade." :shock:
However, they've made a lot of progress since my siblings and I were routinely "thrown to the wolves", as it were; your new school should be able to provide you with some remediation (like private tutoring) so that you can get caught up. :wink:

I would appreciate it if I were given some good websites.
Okay, but, since you ended in pre-algebra in your last school, it's gonna be a long list! :shock:
First, you'll need to learn about variables and polynomials:
. . . . .Google results for "variables"
. . . . .Google results for "polynomials"
. . . . .Google results for "adding polynomials"
. . . . .Google results for "simplify parentheses"
. . . . .Google results for "simple polynomial factoring"
. . . . .Google results for "factoring quadratics"
. . . . .Google results for "special factoring formulas"
Fortunately, pre-algebra almost always includes a review of numerical fractions, so you're probably fine on the basic concepts. Now to move on to polynomial fractions, which are called "rational expressions":
. . . . .Google results for "rational expressions"
. . . . .Google results for "simplifying rational expressions"
. . . . .Google results for "multiply rational expressions"
. . . . .Google results for "adding rational expressions"
:!: Pick at least one or two lessons from each link, and give yourself plenty of time to absorb the material, making sure you work through each example in your chosen lessons. :!:
Covering the above material may, with diligent effort and a little luck, take no more than a week or two. Good luck!
