Algebraic normal form

Algebraic normal form is a way of writing an equation using numbers and variables so that it is easy to understand and solve. For example, the equation 3x + 6 = 12 can be written in Algebraic Normal Form (ANF) as x = 4. This equation reads as "x equals 4". ANF helps to organize equations so that we can easily figure out what numbers and values need to be added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided in order to solve the equation.
