| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| variable | a letter that represents an unknown value; 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 mulitpliled together. term are usually separated by addition and subtraction signs. |
| like terms | 2 or more terms with the same variable or exponent |
| algebraic expression | have at least one variable and one operation |
| sum | the answer of a addition equation |
| altogether | it tells you to add |
| how much more/less | tells you to subtract |
| less than | tells you to subtract |
| difference | the answer to a subtraction problem |
| product | the answer to a mulitplication |
| % or fraction of | muliply |
| quotient | the answer to a division problem |
| per/ each | divison |
| than/from | reverse the order of the expression |
| quantity | use parenthesis to create groups |
| associative property | the way which numbers are grouped when added or multiplied does not change the answer. |
| commutative property | the order in which numbers are added or multiplied does not change the answer |
| Identity property of addition | the sum of an addend and 0 is the same as the addend |
| Identity property of multiplication | the product of any factor and 1 is the same as the factor |
| additive inverse property | adding a number and its opposite will produce a sum of 0 |
| multiplicative inverse property | multiplying any number and its inverse equals one |
| associative property | (x+7)+9=x+(7+9) |
| associative property | 4(3x9)=(4x3)9 |
| commutative property | (x+7)+9=9+(7+x) |
| commutative property | 5x6=6x5 |
| Identity property of addition | x+0=x |
| Identity property of multiplication | 6(1)=6 |
| additive inverse property | -5+5=0 |
| multiplicative inverse property | 4x1/4=1 |
| distributive property | 4(x+3) =4x+12 |
| distributive property | 16+40=8(2+5) |
