Study Notes

Math Vocabulary Study Notes

  • Value: To evaluate an algebraic expression, substitute a specific value for the variable present in the expression.

  • Factors: In the algebraic expression 3(x - 2), the components 3 and (x - 2) are considered factors.

  • Properties of Operations: Equivalent expressions can be generated using properties such as the commutative and associative properties of operations.

  • Combine Like Terms: The expression 4x + 2x - 6y requires combining like terms (like 4x and 2x) to simplify.

  • Expand: The distributive property is utilized to expand algebraic expressions, such as transforming 5(x - 7) into 5x - 35.

  • Variable: In the expression 6x + 10, 'x' serves as the variable that represents an unknown value.

  • Coefficient: In the expression 6x + 10, the number 6 is identified as the coefficient of the variable x.

  • Constant: The number 10 in the expression 6x + 10 acts as the constant, which remains unchanged regardless of the variable's value.

  • Operations: Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are fundamental operations that can be applied to expressions.

  • Reorder and Group: The commutative property allows for the reordering of like terms, while the associative property facilitates the grouping of similar terms, as seen in the expression 5x + 4 + 6x - 3.
