| Variable | a letter that represents an unknown value can use any letter |
| constant | a term without a variable numbers |
| coeffient | the number part of a term with varibles |
| Term | single number or variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together usually departed by addition and subtraction signs |
| like terms | two or more terms with the same variable or exponent |
| sum | answer to an addition problem |
| diffrence | answer to a subtraction problem |
| product | answer to a multiplication problem |
| quotient | answer to a division problem |
| fewer than/ less than | reverse the order of expression and subtract |
| how much more | less, subtract |
| % or fraction of | multiply |
| each | divide |
| than | reverse the order |
| Associative property | The way in 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 zero |
| 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 | 5 x 6=6 x 5 |
| 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 |
