Rules of Math

100

The phrase used to describe part of an equation. (I.E. [2x] [+ 4] [-3] = [11])

Term.

200

The thing that you must do to the variable in order to solve an equation.

Isolate the variable.

300

This tiny number is placed next to a number like this 5³, and is used to represent how many times that number is multiplied. (I.E. 5³ = 5 * 5 * 5 = 125)

Exponent.

400

If you do something to one side of the equation, you must do this to the other sides:

The exact same thing.

500

Something you can do when two terms possess the same variable with the same exponent. It helps you save time and trouble.

Combine like terms.
