4. expression
• The sum and difference of algebraic terms
• Example 2xy + 3y – 6x + 5

5. binomial
• The sum or difference of two terms
• Example 4x + 5

6. denominator
• The term below the fraction bar
• Example 3
5 <- denominator

7. equation
• The equality between two expressions
• Example 4x +1 = 3x - 5

8. evaluate
• Replace a variable with a given value and
simplify
• Example 3x + 5, when x = 2
• 3(2) + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11

9. formula
• Equation with more than one variable
• Example A = lw

10. monomial
• One term
• Example 5x

11. numerator
• Top of the fraction bar
• Example 3  numerator
• 5

12. polynomial
• The sum or difference of many terms

13. quotient
• The result of dividing the divisor into the
dividend
• Example 10/2 = 5, 5 is the quotient

14. ratio
• A fraction of two values

15. trinomial
• The sum or difference of three terms
• Example 3xy + 5x - 4
