| A number written next to a variable | coefficient |
| a single number in an equation | constant |
| the answer to an equation with a variable | solution |
| the addition principle | a = b and a + c = b + c have the same solutions |
| the subtraction principle | a = b and a - c = b + c have the same solutions |
| the division principle | a = b and a/c = b/c have the same solution sets |
| objective of solvig an equation | to isolate the variable on one side of the equation |
| repeated multiplication by the same number can be shortened by using | exponents |
| in 4<sup>2</sup> the 4 is a(n) | base |
| in 4<sup>2</sup> the 2 is a(n) | exponent |
| 4<sup>2</sup> =16, the 16 is the | power |
| a<sup>0</sup> = 1 | the zero exponent |
