Algebraic Vocab

A mathematical equation is:

• a mathematical statement that includes an equal sign (EX: 2x + 5 = 17)

• A mathematical statement that contains numbers and operators (Ex: 5 + 15 - 7)

• A mathematical statement that contains a variable (EX: 5abc + 3).

• A single number whose value does not change.

A constant is:

• a symbol (usually a letter) that represents an unknown number than can change.

•
