What is a sentence with one or more variables?
well, an equation with one variable is a one step equation and an equation with more than 2 variables is a multi-step equation
What are the similarities of equation and inequalities?
They both: - have variables, - are open sentences, - consist of two expressions joined by a "verb" (equals or inequality sign), - have solution sets (which may be empty or have one or more elements).
An equation involving two or more variables?
algebraic
What is a plus b equals 16?
a+b=16 is a linear equation in two variables. The variables are a and b. To solve a linear equation in 2 variables we need more information. We need either another equation, or a value to put in for a or b.Since we have neither, there is no more we can do.
How does the solution to an inequality differ from the solution to an equation?
The solution to an inequality generally is a region with one more dimension. If the inequality/equation is of the form x < a or x = a then the solution to the inequality is the 1 dimensional line segment while the solution to the equality is a point which has no dimensions. If the inequality/equation is in 2 dimensions, the solution to the inequality is an area whereas the solution to the equality is a 1-d line or curve. And so on, in higher dimensional spaces.
