x=37/6
or
x≈6.1
√49
7
The numerical factor that is multiplied by a variable or variable expression in a term.
COEFFICIENT
7x+21−8x+4=16
x=9
Solve: 2x+1 when x=3
x=16
A term in an algebraic expression that contains no variables; its value remains fixed.
CONSTANT
72x/12-3=9x-15
x=4
For every x-coordinate in Quadrant II, is the sign positive or negative?
NEGATIVE
A mathematical statement asserting that two expressions are equal, often containing one or more variables whose values satisfy the equality.
EQUATION

Follow the directions: draw a coordinate plane and label the:
ORIGIN with its ordered pair, the X and Y Axis, the QUADRANTS, and plot one random point in QUADRANT III.
White board :)
