Terms in Algebra
What is a variable
any letter that is placed within an algebraic equation.
3+x= 5
X=2
3x = 15
x = 5
3x + 7 = 22
X = 5
What does simplification mean in math ?
removing terms until the variable is only left.
4 - x = 1
x = 3
4x = 12
x = 3
y = 7
What is it called when we are trying to find the solution to the expression ?
solving the expression.
10 + x = 17
x = 7
5x = 25
X = 5
5z + 15 = 35
Z = 4
What is the last step in the solving process ?
check your answer by placing the number you found in the expression
12 - x = 4
x = 8
5x = 40
x = 8
4a - 8 = 16
a = 6
Which way do we use bedmas when solving equations ?
the reverse order ?
22 + x = 32
x = 10
10x = 100
X = 10
6c - 12 = 24
c = 6
