About the Activity
Earlier we published an intro to the equation in which we learned easier equations. Now we have the equation activity with little complicated problems. Keep the sound on and learn
An equation is a mathematical statement that shows that two expressions are equal. Equations typically contain one or more variables, which are values that can change. Equations are commonly used in mathematics and science to represent relationships between different quantities or to solve problems.
In an equation, the terms on either side of the equal sign are called the left-hand side (LHS) and the right-hand side (RHS), respectively. The goal of solving an equation is to find the value of the variable that makes the equation true. To do this, you can use various algebraic techniques, such as simplifying the equation, combining like terms, or isolating the variable on one side of the equation.
Equations can take many forms, including linear equations, quadratic equations, exponential equations, and more. Each type of equation requires different methods to solve, but the basic principles of equations remain the same. Understanding equations is an important foundation for many areas of mathematics and science, and is essential for solving complex problems in these fields.
