Equation that contains more than one variable?
A bivariate equation.
What is an equation that contains more than one variable?
Multivariable equation
what is called an equation that contains more than one variable?
Multivariable equation
What is the number that can replace a variable in an equation to make it a true equation?
what is the number that can replace a variable in a equation to make it a true equation? 8 letters this is not a good answer go look 4 a notha one
In a nonlinear equation each variable can have more than one solution?
True
Does an equation have one true solution?
-- If the equation has only one variable (like 'x' or 'y'), and the only power of the variable anywhere in the equation is '1', then the equation has one solution. -- If the variable appears raised to powers higher than '1', then there are as many solutions as the highest power of the variable. -- If the equation has two or more variables, then there are an infinite number of solutions.
An equation has one solution?
A linear equation in one variable has one solution. An equation of another kind may have none, one, or more - including infinitely many - solutions.
What is is an equation with more than one variable called?
Simultaneous equation* * * * *No, simultaneous equations are two or more equations that have all to be true at the same time (simultaneously) for the solution.An equation with more than one variable is a multivariate equaion.Area = 0.5*Length*Height or a = 0.5*l*h for the area of a triangle has more than one variables, but it is certainly not simultaneous.An equation with a variable is called a single variable equation. An equation that has more than one variable is called as a multi-variable equation. A polynomial equation has one variable in different powers: a common example is quadratic equations.
What is the term for an equation with more than variable?
An equation with more than one variable is called a multivariate equation.
How do you solve systems by elimination?
Select one equation from a system of linear equations. Select a second equation. Cross-multiply the equations by the coefficient of one of the variables and subtract one equation from the other. The resulting equation will have one fewer variable. Select another "second" equation and repeat the process for the same variable until you have gone through all the remaining equations. At the end of the process you will have one fewer equation in one fewer variable. That variable will have been eliminated from the system of equations. Repeat the whole process again with another variable, and then another until you are left with one equation in one variable. That, then, is the value of that variable. Substitute this value in one of the equations from the previous stage to find the value of a last variable to be eliminated. Work backwards to the first variable. Done! Unless: when you are down to one equation it is in more than one variable. In this case your system of equations does not have a unique solution. If there are n variables in your last equation then n-1 are free to take any value. These do not have to be from those in the last equation. or when you are down to one variable you have more than one equation. If the equations are equivalent (eg 2x = 5 and -4x = -10), you are OK. Otherwise your system of equations has no solution.
Why is it important to keep both sides of the equation equal?
If both sides of an equation are not equal, it won't be an equation any more! In solving equations, the strategy is to change both sides in the same way, so that an 'equivalent' equation is produced. An equivalent equation has the same solution as the original equation. You are aiming for an equation in which the variable is alone on one side. The quantity on the other side is the solution.
What is A number that makes a equation true?
The solution set is the answers that make an equation true. So I would call it the solution.
