Lesson1:Solve linear Equations in one variable
equation
A mathematical sentence that shows that two expressions are equal.
Coefficient
A number multiplied by a variable in an algebraic expression.
inequality
A statement that compares two quantities using <, >, ≤,≥, or ≠
variable
A symbol (usually a letter) that represents an unknown quantity.
Constant
A value in an expression that does not change.
inverse operations
Operations that undo each other; adition and subtraction, or multiplication.
absolute value
The distance a number is from zero on a number line. ALWAYS POSITIVE
solve
To find the value of the variable to make the equation true.
isolate the variable
To get a variable alone on one side of the equation in order to solve the equation.⁸
