What is an expression?

Answer: A) A mathematical statement

Explanation: An expression is a combination of numbers, variables, and operations, such as addition,


subtraction, multiplication, and division. It represents a mathematical statement that can be evaluated.

What is an equation?

Answer: A) A mathematical statement with an equal sign

Explanation: An equation is a mathematical statement that shows the equality of two expressions,
separated by an equal sign.

What is a coefficient?

Answer: A) A number in front of a variable


Explanation: A coefficient is a number that multiplies a variable in an expression. For example, in the
expression 3x, 3 is the coefficient of x.

What is a factor?

Answer: A) A number that is multiplied by another number

Explanation: A factor is a number that is multiplied by another number to get a product. For example, in
the product 2 x 3 = 6, 2 and 3 are factors of 6.

What is an inequality?

Answer: A) A mathematical statement that uses inequality symbols (>, <, ≥, ≤)

Explanation: An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two expressions using inequality
symbols, such as > (greater than), < (less than), ≥ (greater than or equal to), or ≤ (less than or equal to).

What is a proportion?

Answer: A) An equation that shows two ratios are equivalent

Explanation: A proportion is an equation that shows that two ratios are equal. For example, 1/2 = 2/4 is
a proportion, since the two ratios are equivalent.

What is an exponent?

Answer: A) A number that indicates how many times a base is multiplied by itself

Explanation: An exponent is a number that indicates how many times a base is multiplied by itself. It is
usually written as a superscript to the right of the base, such as 2³, which means 2 multiplied by itself
three times.
