Mathematical Concepts and Properties

Front

Inequality

Back

An inequality compares two values, showing if one is less than, greater than, or simply not equal to another value.

Front

Distributive Property

Back

a(b + c) = ab + ac. A number outside the parentheses can be distributed to each term within the parentheses in order to simplify the expression.

Front

Equation with No Solutions

Back

There is no value for the variable that makes the equation true. You can tell that an equation has no solutions if, when you try to solve the equation, the variables cancel out on both sides of =, and you get a false statement remaining.

Front

Equation with Infinite Solutions (Identity)

Back

In these equations, any value for the variable makes the equation true. You can tell that an equation has infinite solutions if, when you try to solve the equation, the variables cancel out on both sides of =, and you get a true statement remaining.

Front

Equation

Back

A mathematical statement that two things are equal. It consists of two expressions, one on each side of an equals sign =.

Front

Inverse Operation

Back

Operations that “undo” each other. Some inverse operations include addition & subtraction, multiplication & division.

Front

Properties of Equality

Back

Operations that can be performed on each side of the equal sign = and still ensure that the equations remain balanced.

Front

Solution to an Equation

Back

The value of the variable that makes the equation true.

Front

>

Back

Greater than, Over, Greater than or equal to, At least, And over, The minimum, No less than, Or more.

Front

<

Back

it means that the value on the left side is less than the value on the right side.
