Memory Math Vocab 1Version en ligne Matching Math equations and inequality terminologies with definitions. par Becky Andrews If you multiply both sides of an equation by the same number, the sides remain equal (i.e. equality is preserved). Subtraction Property of equality inequality Multiplication Property of inequality Division Property of equality If you divide both sides of an equation by the same nonzero number, the sides remain equal. equation A mathematical sentence that compares two unequal expressions using one of the symbols , ≤, ≥, or ≠. two-step inequality coefficient solution Addition Property of equality When both sides of an equation have the same number subtracted from them, the remaining expressions are still equal. For example: If 5 = 5, then 5 - 2 = 5 - 2. A sentence stating that two quantities are equal. A value of a variable that makes an equation true. If you add the same number to both sides of an equation, the sides remain equal Two different operations as in 3x + 4 = 8, must multiply and divide. A numerical factor in a term of an algebraic expression. two-step equations An inequality that contains two operations.
