simplifying expressions
to write an equivalent expression which contains no similar terms
2 step equations
algebraic equation that takes you two steps to solve
proportion
a mathematical comparison between two numbers.
How do you find the absolute value?
The most common way to represent the absolute value of a number or expression is to surround it with the absolute value symbol: two vertical straight lines.
What is a multivariable equation?
A multivariable function is just a function whose input and/or output is made up of multiple numbers. In contrast, a function with single-number inputs and a single-number outputs is called a single-variable function.

11n-20
How do you solve 2 step equations?
Three ways to solve proportions
Vertical
Horizontal
Diagonal (often called "cross-products")
absolute value
the magnitude of a real number without regard to its sign.
How do you write a multivariable equation?
The basic rule for solving multi-variable, multi-step equations is to first be sure you have the same number of equations as the number of different variables in the equations. Then, solve one of the equations for one of the variables and plug that expression in for what it equals into the other equation.
2(x-4)-(x+12)
1x-20
2x + 3 = 7
x=2
how are they written
Proportions are written like ratios are, for example, a/b = c/d or a:b = c:d.
What is the absolute value of -| 4?
the absolute value of -4 is written as |-4|.
How do you solve a multivariable system of equations?
Eliminate the same variable from each pair using the Addition/Subtraction method. Solve the system of the two new equations using the Addition/Subtraction method. Substitute the solution back into one of the original equations and solve for the third variable.
