| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Addition Property of Equality | The property that states that if you add the same number to both sides of an equation, the new equation with have the same solution. |
| Algebraic Expression | An expression that contains at least one variable. |
| Algebraic Inequality | An inequality that contains at least one variable. |
| Coefficient | The number that is multiplied by the variable in an algebraic expression. |
| Constant | A value that does not change |
| Coordinate Plane | A plane formed by the intersection of a horizontal number line called the x-axis and a vertical number line called the y-axis. |
| Division Property of Equality | The property that states that if you divide both sides of an equation by the same nonzero number, the new equation will have the same solution. |
| Equation | A mathematical sentence that shows that two expressions are equivalent. |
| Equivalent Expressions | Algebraic expressions that have the same value for every value of variable. |
| Evaluate | To find the value of a numerical or algebraic expression. |
| Graph of an Equation | A graph of the set of ordered pairs that are solution of the equation. |
| Inequality | A mathematical sentence that shows the relationship between quantities that are not equivalent. |
| Inverse Operations | Operations that undo each other: addition and subtraction, or multiplication and division. |
| Isolate the Variable | To get a variable alone on one side of an equation or inequality in order to solve the equation or inequality. |
| Like Term | Two or more terms that have the same variable raised to the same power. |
| Multiplication Property of Equality | The property that states that if you multiply both sides of an equation by the same number, the new equation will have the same solution. |
| Ordered Pair | A pair of numbers that can be used to locate a point on a coordinate plane. |
| Origin | The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect on the coordinate plane. |
| Simplify | To write a fraction or expression in simplest form. |
| Solution of an Equation | A value or values that make an equation true. |
| Solution of an Inequality | A value or values that make an inequality true. |
| Solution Set | The set of values that make a statement true. |
| Solve | To find an answer or a solution. |
| Substitute | To replace a variable with a number or another expression in an algebraic expression. |
| Subtraction Property of Equality | The property that states that if you subtract the same number from both sides of an equation, the new equation will have the same solution. |
| Term | The parts of an expression that are added or subtracted. |
| Variable | A symbol used to represent a quantity that can change. |
| X-axis | The horizontal axis on a coordinate plane. |
| X-coordinate | The first number in an ordinate pair; it tells the distance to move right or left from the origin. |
| Y-axis | The vertical axis on a coordinate plane. |
| Y-coordinate | The second number in an ordinate pair; it tells the distance to move up or down from the origin. |
