How do you define a coefficient?
A number that multiplies or divides a variable; a coefficient always has a variable.
Solve
5g = 70
g = 14
Solve
5x - 4 = 21
x = 5
-3(2 - x) = 24

simplify 7r + 2K - 1 + 3r -k
10r + k -1
What is a constant?
A fixes value; a number that stands on its own.
Solve
x/5 = 30
x = 150
4x - 8 = 40
x=12
-(x-7)=7
x=0

What are Like Terms?
Two or more terms in a variable expression that have the same variable factors.
Solve
55x = 3300
x = 60
-x + 3 = 11
x = -8
solve -2(x + 4) = 12
x = -10
5x + 3 -4 = 105
x = 21.2
What are equivalent expressions?
Expressions that have the same value for every possible value of the variable.
