Variables A variable is a symbol that is used to represent an unknown quantity. For example, x, y, z. If x and y are variables, then the product xy is also a variable. Terms A term can be: a single number. For example, 2, 5. a variable, or a product of variables (which may be raised to powers). For example, z, b3, [pic]. a product of a number and one or more variables (which may be raised to powers). For example, 3x, – 4yz, 7a2 b3 . Coefficients In a term that is the product of a number and one or more variables, the number is called the numerical coefficient or simply the coefficient. For example, in the term –2b3, the coefficient is –2 and the variable part is b3. Like and unlike algebraic terms Like algebraic terms …show more content…
A linear equation has only one unknown quantity and therefore can have only one solution or root. This is the value of the unknown quantity that satisfies the equation. Solving a linear equation means finding its root. The most basic method of solving an equation involves the properties of equality. Properties of equality The solution of an equation does not change if we (i) add the same quantity to both sides of the equation. i.e. if a = b, then a + c = b + c. (ii) subtract the same quantity from both sides of the equation. i.e. if a = b, then a – c = b – c. (iii) multiply both sides of the equation by the same non-zero quantity. i.e. if a = b, then ac = bc. (iv) divide both sides of the equation by the same non-zero quantity. i.e. if a = b, then [pic]. In short, whatever is done to one side must be done to the other side. Strategy for solving linear equations 1. Eliminate any fractions by multiplying each side by the LCD. 2. Use the distributive property to remove brackets. 3. Combine any like terms. 4. Use the addition and subtraction properties of equality to get all variables on one side and numbers on the other side. 5. Use the multiplication and division properties of equality to get a single variable on one side. 6. Check by substituting your solution in the original equation. Ex. Solve the following equations: (1) x + 8 = 1 (2) y – 3 = –4 (3) 5b = 15 (4) [pic]
11. Which of the following is the most acceptable way of naming a variable. Multiple answers
This means that some decisions may seem totally acceptable and justifiable by man’s standards, but in the end these same decisions lead to
An act, which otherwise would be wrong, can be right when performed in the presence of, or in response to another act committed by an individual towards another. . . It may even be the case that two acts, each of which would be wrong in isolation, are both rendered permissible by the presence of the other. (Kavka 61)
Measurement where a number is assigned to represent something or someone else. An example of nominal could be credit card numbers, social security numbers, or zip codes.
This is the result of solving an equation to find a value(s) for the variable(s) which make the equation true.
3) Write the following as an algebraic expression using x as the variable: Triple a number subtracted from the number
It must be logical, and provide a concrete base for any differences between the variables. It must also be simple and clear.
In the unit, called cookies, I have come across many mathematical concepts when doing the math problems. Inequalities were one of the concepts. Inequalities are the relation between two equations that are not equal. One of the first things that were done was to guess and check using random numbers to find the highest number of combinations that would still make the inequalities true. Also, in this unit it reviewed how to place inequalities on number lines; the open circle in inequalities represents greater than or less than and the closed circle in inequalities shows that it is either greater than or equal to or less than or equal to.Another mathematical concept is Systems of Equations. Systems of Equations are equations you deal with altogether
I think I need to understand the symbols better and how they work in Python, right now my head is thinking as I usually use them as in (1+1) = 2 , (5-2) =7 , 2*7 =14 ...but the answer is 8. how?

Solution – A solution is the end product of when a solvent and a solute are mixed.

Suppose the location myNumber is a variable. A variable is a named memory location whose value can vary—for example, the value of myNumber might be 3 when the program is used for the first time and 45 when it is used the next time.
“He knew this informal experience with the distributive property would be important in subsequent lessons and the student writing would provide him with some insight into whether his students understood that quantities could be decomposed as a strategy in solving multiplication problems.” (Ex. Lines 81-83 provides evidence of Elicit and use evidence of student thinking).
In mathematics, function is defined as a relationship, or more of a correspondence between the set of input values and the set of output values. Also, a rule is involved, or as it may be referred to, a ‘set of ordered pairs’ that assigns a unique output for each of the input. The output correspondence is usually defined as f and the output is x. The correspondence is denoted as f(x). All functions are mainly defined by two factors, as was mentioned before, set of inputs - which are called arguments; and outputs - which
