Some Definitions
Algebraic Expression: one or more terms which are
combined through basic operations (+, -,

). There is NO

equal sign.
To solve an equation means to find all the values that make
it true. These values are called solutions or roots of the
equation.

One More Definition

A linear equation in one variable, x, can be written in the
form:

ax + b = 0
where a and b are real numbers and a is not equal to
zero.
