The LETTER part of an algebraic equation that represents an unknown quantity.
Ex. The letter x
5x+2=9
Variable
What is the inverse of Addition?
Subtraction
What is the inverse of subtraction?
Addition
True or False:
Algebra is like a balancing scale- whatever you do to one side, you have to do to the other side.
True
The NUMBER that is ALONE (not connected to a variable) in an algebraic equation
Ex. The numbers 2 and 9
5x+2=9
Constants
solve for x:
x+2=12
x=10
Solve for p:
p - 5 = 2
p = 7
Solve for x:
x - 14 = 20
x= 34
The NUMBER that is WITH the variable.
Ex. The number 5
5x+2=9
Coefficient
Solve for x:
14+x=27
x=13
Solve for r:
r - 19 = 39
r = 20
Solve for x:
x + 14 = 87

What does the word "isolate" mean?
Ex. We need to isolate the variable in order to solve a algebraic equation
to get the variable alone on one side of the equal side
Ex. y=4+2; the variable is ISOLATED
Solve for h:
100=87+h
h=13
Solve for w:
8 = w - 9
w = 17
Solve for x:
x + 98 = 20
x = -78

What does the word "INVERSE" mean?
Ex. the inverse operation of addition is subtraction
Opposite
Solve for y:
98.45=y+26.34
y=72.11
Solve for x:
-24 +x = 50
x = 74
Solve for x:
x - 1.4 = 20.99
x = 22.39
