Difference |
a point or way in which people or things are not the same |
|
|
Product |
a quantity obtained by multiplying quantities together, or from an analogous algebraic operation. |
|
|
Sum |
the total amount resulting from the addition of two or more numbers, amounts, or items. |
|
|
Quotient |
a result obtained by dividing one quantity by another |
|
|
expression |
math Term definition. An algebraic expression is a mathematical phrase that can contain ordinary numbers, variables (like x or y) and operators (like add,subtract,multiply, and divide). |
|
|
equation |
A written statement indicating the equality of two expressions. It consists of a sequence of symbols that is split into left and right sides joined by an equal sign. For example, 2 + 3 + 5 = 10 is an equation |
|
|
like terms |
In algebra, like terms are terms that have the same variables and powers. The coefficients do not need to match. Unlike terms are two or more terms that are not like terms, i.e. they do not have the same variables or powers. The order of the variables does not matter unless there is a power |
|
|
evaluate |
To evaluate is to find the value of a numerical or algebraic expression |
|
|
factoring |
Math Term Definition. To factor a number means to break it up into numbers that can be multiplied together to get the original number. Now, here's a problem for you: What are the factors of 12? |
|
|
GCF |
The greatest common factor, or GCF, is the greatest factor that divides two numbers. To find the GCF of two numbers: List the prime factors of each number. Multiply those factors both numbers have in common. |
|
|
commutative property |
The Commutative property states that order does not matter. Multiplication and addition are commutative |
|
|
distributive property |
Distribution Property Defined. The distributive property involves the operations of multiplication and addition or multiplication and subtraction. When we use the distributive property, we are multiplying each term inside the parentheses with the term outside of the parentheses. |
|
|
terms |
In Algebra a term is either a single number or variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together |
|
|
like terms |
In algebraic expressions, like terms are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power. Only the coefficients of like terms are different. |
|
|
simplify |
To use the rules of arithmetic and algebra to rewrite an expression as simply as possible. |
