Question
Answer
numbers that are not fractions; they may be positive or negative   integers  
🗑
a number of a group of numbers written with operation signs   expression  
🗑
the number that tells how many times the base is used as a factor   exponent  
🗑
the numbers to the right of zero on the number line   positive numbers  
🗑
change   revise  
🗑
a graph made up of pieces of straight lines   broken line graph  
🗑
perform the operations; find the value- make smaller   simplify  
🗑
the product- when factors are the same   power  
🗑
the distance between 0 and a number on the number line   absolute value  
🗑
the numbers to the left of 0 on the number line   negative numbers  
🗑
numbers with the same absolute value on opposite sides of the number line   opposites  
🗑
a factor; the number used to tell the base how many times to multiply   base  
🗑
a statement tha 2 expressions are equal   equation  
🗑
parts of an expression separated by a + or - sign   terms  
🗑
rules that tell you which operations to do first   order of operations  
🗑
a number that multiplies a variable   coefficient  
🗑
replace a variable with a number or expression   substitute  
🗑
a letter that represents a number   variable  
🗑
numbers or quantities that do not change   constant  
🗑
terms that have the same variables with the same exponents   like terms  
🗑
the switching property- the order of 2 numbers can be switched and the answer or value will be the same   commutative  
🗑
regrouping property; two or moer numbers can be grouped together on one side of the equation, while the numbers can be regrouped on the other side of the equation without effecting the value   associative  
🗑
