Question

a mathematical statement that asserts the equality of two expressions is called an ________________.
a symbol, typically a letter, that represents one or more numbers is known as a ________________.
a value that, when substituted for the variable, makes an equation true is called a ________________.
an equation in which the highest power of the variable is 1 is called a ____________________ equation.
the concept that both sides of an equation must have the same value is known as ________________.
to replace a variable with a specific value is to ____________________

Explanation:

1. First Question

A mathematical statement asserting equality of two expressions is defined as an equation. For example, \(2x + 3 = 5\) is an equation as it shows the equality of \(2x + 3\) and \(5\).

A symbol (usually a letter) representing one or more numbers is a variable. Like \(x\) in \(3x + 2\), where \(x\) can take different numerical values.

A value that satisfies an equation (makes it true when substituted for the variable) is a solution (or root). For \(x + 2 = 5\), \(x = 3\) is the solution as substituting \(3\) for \(x\) makes the equation true.

Answer:

equation
