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