Test Review
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| No solution | Coefficients are the same, but the constants are different ex. 3x - 4 = 3x +5 |
| Infinite Solutions | Coefficients and constants are the same ex. 3x - 4 = 3x - 4 |
| One solution | Coefficients are different- constants don't matter ex. 3x - 4 = 5x + 3 |
| Linear Equations | exponent on VARIABLE is 0 or 1 ex. x + 1, 6x, y = 4 |
| Non-Linear Equations | exponent on VARIABLE is not 0 or 1 ex. x^3, x^-1, 1/x |
| Linear Graphs | 1 straight line |
| Non-Linear Graphs | not a straight line or a shape with more than 1 straight line side |
| Write and solve an equation with parallel lines cut by a transversal- supplementary | angle 1 + angle 2 = 180, then solve and substitute for each angle |
| Write and solve an equation with parallel lines cut by a transversal- congruent | angle 1 = angle 2, then solve and substitute for each angle |
| solve a multi-step equation | 1. distribute (parentheses- multiply) 2. combine like terms (same side, add) 3. move (+ or -) the variable with the smaller coefficient to get variables on one side 4. move (+ or -) the constant on the side with the remaining variable to get constants on one side 5. multiply or divide by coefficient to get x by itself |
| Constant | A term without a variable Ex. 5 |
| Variable | A symbol used to represent a quantity that can change Ex. x |
| Coefficient | number in front of a variable (multiplied) |
| Like Terms | Terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power. |
| Distributive Property | a(b + c) = ab + ac |
| Solve 1-step Equation | Do the opposite operation |
| Opposite Operation of Addition | subtraction |
| Opposite Operation of Subtraction | addition |
| Opposite Operation of Multiplication | division |
| Opposite Operation of Division | Multiplication |
| Solve a 2-step equation (get x by itself) | Use the oppostie operation to 1. Add or subtract the CONSTANT (NUMBER) on the same side as the variable 2. Multiply or divide the COEFFICIENT (NUMBER IN FRONT OF VARIABLE) |
| solve multi step equations | 1. Distribute- same side 2. Like Terms- same side 3. add or subtract constant- different sides 4. multiply or divide coeffient- different sides |
| evaluate an expression | replacing each variable in the expression by a given value and simplifying the result |
