14. Vocabulary we developed: Algebraic Expression Coefficient Constant Distributive Property Equivalent Expression Integers Like Terms Order of Operations Simplify Substitute Term Variable

15. Formal Definitions:

16. Algebraic Expression: A mathematical phrase that can include numbers, variables, and operation symbols (ex. 3y + 7) Coefficient: A number that is multiplied by a variable (ex. 5x) Constant: A value that does not change (ex. 4) Distributive Property: For every real number a, b, and c: a(b + c) = ab + ac and a(b-c) = ab – ac (ex. 4(x + 3) = 4x + 12) Equivalent Expression: Expressions that have the same value for all variables Integers: Positive and negative whole numbers (ex. 22, -3)

17. Like Terms: Have identical variables; that is, they have the same variable to the same exponent. Constants are like terms as well. (ex. 6x 2 and 99x 2 are like terms) Order of Operations: Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplying and Dividing (left to right), Adding and Subtracting (left to right) PEMDAS! Simplify: To write an expression in simplest form (combine all like terms) Substitute: To replace a letter with a number or algebraic expression

18. Term: “parts” in an expression that are added or subtracted (ex. 4x 2 + 3 -> 4x 2 and 3 are terms) Variable: a letter that represents an unknown number

19. What words mean add, subtract, multiply, or divide?
