Question

1. Provide an example of a variable term.

2. Provide an example of a constant term.
3. When looking at an expression and/or equation, how can we tell that we need to distribute?
4. When solving an equation, if you get the solution, x=0, how many solutions to the equation are there?
(One solution, no solution, or infinite solutions)
5. When solving an equation, if you get 5 = 11, what does this mean? (One solution, no solution, or infinite
solutions)
6. When solving an equation, if you get 5 = 5, what does this mean? (One solution, no solution, or infinite
solutions)

Answer 1

Explanation:

1) a variable term contains a variable. If x is a variable

5x is an example of a variable therm

2) a constant therm is not a variable

3 is an example

3) for example when a number multiply a sum or a difference between a constant and a variable

Example:

2(x-3) = 5(x+4)

4) one solution: only if x is equal to 0 the equation is true

5) no solution: the equation can’t be true for ever value of the variable

6) infinite solutions: the equation is ever true for every value of the variable
