There are 7 letters in the word ALGEBRA, therefore they can be permuted in 7! ways.
However, for each permutation of all the letters, the two As can be
permuted between themselves without creating a new distinquishable word.
And those two As can be permuted in 2! ways.
Therefore the number of distinguishable words is
7!/2! = 2520

= 7!/2! = 7x6x5x4x3 = 42x60 = 2520
unless you mean rearrange algebra into actual words you can find in a dictionary
then it's closer to 50
