What does it mean for an equation to express y in terms of x?

It means you manipulate the equation in such a way that "y" is alone to the left of the equal sign, and everything else (including "x") is to the right.


What does express x as a function of y mean?

It means you should rearrange the equation so that x is on one side of the equal sign, and everything else on the other, with no "x" on the right side of the equation. For instance, if I was told to express x as a function of y and given the equation: x-4y=6 I would express x as a function of y by rearranging the equation to read: x = 6+4y


What does expression mean in math?

In math expression means when you have a number sentence without an equal sign.A mathematical or algebraic expression is a collection of terms that do not include an equality sign because it is not an equation. A mathematical or algebraic expression is a collection of terms that do not include an equality sign because it is not an equation.


What does combine like terms mean in math?

it means to put together the terms that have the same variable. so if you had the equation: 2x+4y+5x it would simplify to 7x+4y because you would combine to the two x-variables.


What is the equation of the line that passes through (1 2) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 4x y 1 0?

Without an equality sign and not knowing the plus or minus values of the given terms it can't be considered to be a straight line equation. But if you mean 4x+y = 10 then y = -4x+10 and the parallel equation is y = -4x+6
