An exponent indicates how many times a number or variable is multiplied by itself. For example, in $$x^3$$ , the exponent is 3.

A variable is a symbol, usually a letter, that represents an unknown value. For example, in $$x + 5$$ , $$x$$ is a variable.

What is a term in an algebraic expression?

A term is a single mathematical expression that can be a number, a variable, or a combination of both. For example, in $$4x + 3y - 5$$ , the terms are $$4x$$ , $$3y$$ , and $$-5$$ .

What is a linear equation?

A linear equation is an equation of the first degree, meaning it has no exponents greater than one. For example, $$2x + 3 = 7$$ is a linear equation.

What is a polynomial?

A polynomial is an algebraic expression that consists of terms with non-negative integer exponents. For example, $$3x^2 + 2x + 1$$ is a polynomial.

Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power. For example, $$3x$$ and $$5x$$ are like terms.

What is the distributive property?

The distributive property states that $$a(b + c) = ab + ac$$ . It allows you to multiply a term by a sum.

What is a solution to an equation?

A solution to an equation is a value that makes the equation true. For example, in the equation $$x + 2 = 5$$ , the solution is $$x = 3$$ .

A function is a relation that assigns exactly one output for each input. For example, $$f(x) = 2x + 3$$ is a function.

What is a graph of an equation?
