• The set of steps for solving an equation.

• Properties of geometric shapes used in algebra.

• A set of symbols used in algebra.

Which of the following best describes inverse operations?

• Operations that can be used to combine two expressions.

• Operations that "undo" each other, such as addition and subtraction.

• Operations used to simplify equations.

• Operations that solve quadratic equations.

What is a coefficient?

• The number that is added to a variable in an equation.

• A constant that does not change in an equation.

• The number multiplied by a variable in an algebraic expression.

• The sum of terms in an expression.

What is a linear equation in one variable?

• An equation that involves two or more variables and is expressed as a straight line.

• An equation with exponents greater than one.

• An equation that contains only one variable raised to the first power.

• An equation where the variable is part of a fraction.

Which of the following best defines an equation?

• A statement that involves an unknown number.

• A number multiplied by a variable.

• A list of operations that must be followed to solve a problem.

What is a linear inequality in one variable?

• An equation involving multiple variables that form a straight line.

• An expression that compares two expressions with an inequality symbol (like <, >, ≤, ≥) in one variable.

• An equation involving a single variable raised to a power greater than one.

• An equation where the variables are in the denominator.

Which of the following best defines an equivalent equation?

• An equation with no solutions

• An equation that has the same solution set as another equation.

• An equation where both sides are equal, but only for certain values of the variable.

• An equation that has one variable in the numerator and one in the denominator.

What is a literal equation?

• An equation that uses letters or symbols to represent known values or variables.

• An equation that only involves constants.

• An equation that is used to solve word problems.

• An equation that contains only numbers and no variables.

What is an expression in algebra?

• A statement that shows the relationship between two equations.

• A combination of numbers, variables, and operations without an equal sign.

• A statement that compares two quantities.

• An equation with an unknown value.

What is a term in an algebraic expression?

• The variables in an equation.

• The individual parts of an expression, which may include numbers, variables, or both.

• The solution to an equation.

• The operations used in an equation.
