math terms
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| variable | A letter that represents an unknown value (varies); can use any letter |
| constant | a term without a variable;numbers |
| coefficient | the number part of a term with variables |
| term | is either a single number or variable ,or numbers and variables multiplied together.Terms are usually separated by addition and subtraction signs |
| like terms | two or more terms with the same variable or exponent |
| Algebraic expression | have at least one variable and one operation |
| Sum | answer to a addition problem |
| difference | The answer to a subtraction problem |
| product | answer to a multiplication problem |
| quotient | answer to division problem |
| fewer than/ less than | subtract and reverse |
| how much more / less | subtract |
| % or fraction of | multipy |
| each | divide |
| than / from | reverse the order |
| commutative property | The order in which numbers are added or multiplied does not change the answer |
| Associative property | The way in which numbers are grouped when added or multiplied does not change the answer |
| Identity property of addition | The sum of an addend & 0 is the same as the addend |
| Identity property of multiplication | The product of any factor & 1 is the same as the factor |
| Additive inverse property | Adding a number and its opposite will produce a sum of zero |
| Multiplicative inverse property | Multiplying any number and its inverse (reciprocal) equals one |
| Associative property | ( x + 7) + 9 = x + (7+ 9) |
| Associative property | 4 (3 x 9) = ( 4 x 3) 9 |
| Communicative property | ( x + 7 ) + 9 = 9 + (7 + x) |
| Identity property of addition | x + 0 = x |
| Identity property of multiplication | 6(1) = 6 |
| multiplicative inverse property | 4 x 1/4 = 1 |
| Additive inverse property | -5 + 5 = 0 |
| distributive property | 4(x + 3) = 4x + 12 |
