    Flashcards

    Order of Operations

    The order in which operations are performed in a mathematical expression. It is often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

    Algebraic Expressions

    Expressions that combine numbers and variables using mathematical operations. They are simplified by combining like terms and applying the order of operations.

    Algebraic Properties of Operations

    The rule that states that for any two numbers, the sum, product, or difference of those numbers is the same regardless of the order in which they are combined. Examples include the commutative property of addition (a + b = b + a) and the associative property of multiplication (a * b * c = a * (b * c)).

    Linear Equations in One Variable

    Equations that relate variables and constants, often used to represent real-world situations. They are typically solved for one variable by isolating it on one side of the equation.
