| constant | A term without a variable; numbers |
| coefficient | The number part of a term with variables |
| variable | A letter that represents an unknown value ;can use any letter |
| sum | answer to an addition problem |
| difference | answer to a subtraction problem |
| product | answer to a multiplication problem |
| Quotient | answer to a division problem |
| Fewer than | reverse than subtract |
| less than | reverse than subtract |
| How much more/less | subtract |
| % or fraction of | multiply |
| each | divide |
| than/from | reverse the order |
| like terms | Two or more terms with the same variable or exponent |
| algebraic expression | have at least one variable and one operration |
| commutative property | the order in witch numbers are added or multiplied does not change the answer |
| associative property | the way 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 |
| distributive property | the sum of two or more addends multiplied by a number gives you the same answer as distributing the multiplier , multiplying each addend sepertly , and adding the products together |
| associative property | [x+7]+9=x+[7+9] |
| associative property | 4[3*9]=[4*3]9 |
| commutative property | [x+7]+9=9+[7+x] |
| commutative property | 5*6=6*5 |
| identity property of addition | x+0=x |
| identity property of multiplication | 6[1]=6 |
| multiplicative inverse property | 4*1/4=1 |
| additive inverse property | -5+5=0 |
| distributive property | 4[x+3]4x+12 |
| distributive property | 16+40=8[2+5] |
