well, an equation with one variable is a one step equation and an equation with more than 2 variables is a multi-step equation
An equation with two variables . . . seriously!An equation with one variable can be can be solved, but when there are two variables, you need two equations. This is called a system of two equations in two variables.Three equations in three variables, etc.
Plot the solution of the equation for various variables in the equation
It is still an equation.
An equation is a mathematical statement that may (or may not) be true, defined for some variables. Solving an equation is finding those values of the variables for which the equation or statement is true.
An equation that has several letters or variables is a polynomial
An equation with two or more variables is called a polynomial. It can also be a literal equation.
If an equation has two variables, we'll call them (x,y), the variables can be any value as long as both sides of the equation have the same result. If the equation was x = y, then the variables could be (1,1), (2,2), (3,3),etc...
You isolate variables in math because the point of an equation is to solve for the variables. By isolating the variables you have learned what that variable stands for and thus solved the equation.
well, an equation with one variable is a one step equation and an equation with more than 2 variables is a multi-step equation
An identity is an equation that is always true, for any value of the variable or variables. Here are some examples: x + x = 2x a + b = b + a x1 = x

Literal equation refers to an equation in which the variables represent known values. This type of equation allows the representation of things like distance, interest, time, and slope as variables in an equation.
