| Like term | Two or more terms with the same variable or exponent . |
| variable | A letter the represents an unknown value can use any letter. |
| Algebraic expression | One variable at least and one operation. |
| sum | This is the answer to an additional problem. |
| difference | This is the answer of a subtraction problem. |
| product | This is the answer of multiplication problem. |
| quotient | This is the answer to the division problem. |
| fewer then less then | subtract + reverse |
| how much more/less | These are key words of subtraction .You will find these most in word problems. |
| % or fraction of | If a % since or a fraction is before a of it is multiplication. |
| each | This is division and you must split this apart. |
| than/from | reverse the order if these are in a problem |
