4x - 7=5 label the parts of the equation

1 answer

To label the parts of the equation \(4x - 7 = 5\), we can break it down as follows:

  1. Left Side of the Equation: \(4x - 7\)

    • Coefficient: The number multiplying the variable \(x\) (which is 4 in this case).
    • Variable: The letter representing a number we are trying to solve for (which is \(x\)).
    • Constant Term: The number that does not change (which is \(-7\) here).
  2. Right Side of the Equation: \(5\)

    • This is also a constant term.
  3. Equality Sign: \(=\)

    • This indicates that the expressions on both sides of the equation are equal in value.

Putting it all together, we can summarize the parts as:

  • Left Side: \(4x - 7\) (with coefficient 4, variable \(x\), and constant \(-7\))
  • Equality Sign: \(=\)
  • Right Side: \(5\) (constant)

Thus, the complete labeled equation is:

  • \(4x - 7 = 5\)
    • Left Side: Coefficient (4), Variable (\(x\)), Constant (-7)
    • Right Side: Constant (5)
    • Equality Sign (=)
