Vinculum (Vin-Q-lum) By Jordan
A vinculum is often called the fraction bar. This is because people don't know the real name of the line that divides the two numbers. They do know that it’s a fraction and the line splitting the fractions looks like a bar so lets call it a fraction bar. Well now you know that it's called a vinculum. The vinculum is to show that both numbers are divided. Also you can use vinculum as a noun in a sentence and it would mean "A bond signifying union or unity." - Dictionary.com

Algebra is not difficult! Algebra is just different. Time is required in order for things that are different to become things that are familiar. Often we learn better, quicker, and more when we collaborate!
