Math Problem Statement

Fill in the blanks with the appropriate mathematical terms based on the given definitions.

Solution

Let's go through the terms from the image and fill in the blanks:

  1. Variable: an unknown quantity or expression whose value can change.
  2. Terms: parts of an expression separated by + or - signs.
  3. Constant: the part of a math sentence whose value is always the same, represented by a numeral.
  4. Coefficient: a numerical or constant quantity placed before and multiplying the variable in an algebraic expression.
  5. Expression: a combination of variables, numbers, and/or operations that represents a mathematical relationship, but no statement of equality or inequality. (DOES NOT HAVE AN "=" sign).
  6. Equation: a mathematical statement that two or more expressions are equal. (MUST HAVE AN "=" sign).
  7. Inequality: an algebraic relation showing that a quantity is greater than or less than another quantity. (> , < , ≥ , ≤).
