Memory Game Math Vocab 1Online version Matching Math equations and inequality terminologies with definitions. by Becky Andrews A numerical factor in a term of an algebraic expression. equation An inequality that contains two operations. Division Property of equality If you divide both sides of an equation by the same nonzero number, the sides remain equal. coefficient 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 mathematical sentence that compares two unequal expressions using one of the symbols , ≤, ≥, or ≠. 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. If you multiply both sides of an equation by the same number, the sides remain equal (i.e. equality is preserved). Addition Property of equality A value of a variable that makes an equation true. Multiplication Property of inequality inequality A sentence stating that two quantities are equal. two-step equations solution Subtraction Property of equality two-step inequality
