ALGEBRA

Linear Equation

An equation where two expressions are set equal to each other, typically in the form ax + b + c = 0.

Addition Property of Equality

States that you can add the same number to both sides of an equation without changing the equality.

Subtraction Property of Equality

States that you can subtract the same number from both sides of an equation without changing the equality.

Multiplication Property of Equality

States that you can multiply both sides of an equation by the same number without changing the equality.

Division Property of Equality

States that you can divide both sides of an equation by the same number without changing the equality.

Two-Step Linear Equation

An equation in the form ax + b = c which requires two steps to solve.

Multi-Step Linear Equation

A more complex equation requiring multiple steps including simplifying and applying properties of equality.

Linear Inequality

An inequality that uses an inequality sign (

Estimation
