Essential Vocabulary Definitions

Expression An English or algebraic phrase that contains numbers, variables, and
operators (+/-/x/ or divide)

Equation Has both a left and right side set equal to each other.

Inequality The relationship between two expressions that can be written as < (less
than), > (greater than), < (less than or equal to), > (greater than or
equal to)
