  1. 1. To rewrite an equation in a simpler or more standard form without changing its value.
  2. 5. To move terms in an equation so variables and constants are on the correct sides.
  3. 7. – A symbol, usually a letter like x or y, that represents an unknown value.
  4. 9. A fixed value without a variable (e.g., in y = 2x + 3, the constant is 3).
  5. 13. The point where a line crosses the x-axis (where y = 0).

  4. 4. A whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero.
  5. 6. – A mathematical statement that shows two expressions are equal.
  6. 8. – The numerical factor multiplied by a variable (e.g., in 3x, the coefficient is 3).
