    Variables and Algebraic Expressions

    • A variable is a symbol that represents elements from a specific set of numbers, known as its domain.
    • A constant refers to a specific, unchanging numerical value within mathematical expressions.
    • An algebraic expression combines numbers, variables, and operational symbols to formulate mathematical statements.
    • A formula is an equation delineating the connection between different quantities or variables.
    • A term can be a constant, a variable raised to a power, or a product/quotient of constants and variables.
    • Like terms are terms that share the same variable(s) and corresponding variables have identical exponents.
    • The numerical coefficient (or simply coefficient) is the constant that multiplies associated variables within a term.
    • An equation is a mathematical declaration asserting that two expressions are equal to one another.
    • An inverse operation is an action that counteracts or reverses the effect of a previous mathematical operation.
