VariableA letter that is used to represent one or
more numbers.
In the expression m+5, the letter m is the variable
Example
Substituting a value for each variable in the expression and
simplifying the resulting numerical expression
Evaluating 2x+3y when x=1 and y=4
gives 2(1)+3(4)2+12=14
Example
Evaluate a variable expression Equation
A mathematical sentence formed by setting two
expressions equal
3x6=18 x+7
are equations
Example
Finding all solutions of the equation by using mental math of the
properties of equality
The solution of the equation n-3=4 is 7

Wednesdays Homework
The sum of 8 and twice a number 8 + 2x
2/3 of a number decreased by 14 2/3x - 14
-8 increased by the quotient of 13 and a number -8 + (13/x)
The difference of -2 and a number equals 15 -2 - y = 15
The sum of twice a number and 14 is -8 2y + 14 = -8
3/4 of a number decreased by -2 is 24 3/4y - (-2) = 24

Writing Equations16 increased by a number is 27
The difference of twice a number and 3 equals -4
The product of 1/2 and a number is 36
-3 is equal to twice the sum of a number and 2
16 + y = 27 2y - 3 = -41/2y = 36 -3 = 2(y + 2)
