Algebraic Expressions
Today’s lesson
Definitions
• Variable – A variable is a letter or
symbol that represents a number
(unknown quantity).
• 8 + n = 12
Definitions
• A constant is a number that does not change.
• A coefficient is a number multiplied or divided
by a variable.
6x + 5
6 is the coefficient, x is the variable, and 5 is the
constant.
Definitions
• A term is a part of an expression that are
added or subtracted
5x + 6 – 4x
This expression has 3 terms: 5x, 6, and 4x
• A like term are terms who have the same
variable raised to the same power
In the expression above, 5x and 4x are like terms
