1. A combination of operations on variables and
numbers is called an expression.
2. A statement of the form
โexpression = expressionโ is called an equation.
3. An equation contains an equal sign (=) while an
expression does not.
4. An expression may be simplified and evaluated
while an equation may be solved.
5. A solution of an equation is a number that when
substituted for the variable makes the equation a
true statement.
6. Equivalent equations have the same solution.
7. By the addition property of equality, the same
number may be added to or subtracted from both
sides of an equation without changing the
solution of the equation.
8. By the multiplication property of equality, both
sides of an equation may be multiplied or
