college placement test-math Exam with verified solutions 2024terms - answer 12, -3, x(variable), 15y, 11xy, -4x^2, -a, either a single number or variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together.
Terms are separated by + or − signs
Coefficients - answer # associated with each of those terms is called coefficient(12, -3, 1,15, 11, -4, -1, 3
expression - answer adding 1 or more terms together
linear equation - answer equation has =sign. ex of linear eq: 4x+3=11
a linear equation is one that is dependent only on constants and a variable raised to the first power. For example, y=6x+2y=6x+2 is linear because it has no squares, cubes, square roots, sines, etc. Linear equations can always be manipulated to take this form:
ax+b=0
rule - answer if you do something to one side of the equation, you must do it to the other
how to solve a linear equation-4 steps - answer 1.) get rid of parentheses&combine like terms

dividing
4.) check answer - answer percents - answer per=dividing, cents=100, like in a dollar
41% over 100 =.41 - answer take decimal place, move it two places to the right
solving percent equations - answer "of"=multiply
"is"= equals - answer "out of"=division
96% of what #is 72? - answer "what" or "what #" = x(the unknown) .96 times x =72 .96x over .96 =72 over .96, x= 72 divided by .96
x=75
7 is 4% of what #? - answer 7 = .04 times x
ratios - answer A comparison of two quantities by division
proportions - answer An equation stating that two ratios are equal.
unit ratio - answer A unit rate where the denominator is one unit
