4. difference - ANSWER a quantity by which amounts differ; the remainder left after subtraction of one
value from another.
5. subtraction - ANSWER the process or skill of taking one number or amount away from another.
6. product - ANSWER a quantity obtained by multiplying quantities together, or from an analogous
algebraic operation.
7. dividend - ANSWER a number to be divided by another number.
a sum of money paid regularly (typically quarterly) by a company to its shareholders out of its profits (or
reserves).
8. quotient - ANSWER a result obtained by dividing one quantity by another.
>a degree or amount of a specified quality or characteristic.

11. remainder - ANSWER a part, number, or quantity that is left over.
12.checking account - ANSWER an account at a bank against which checks can be drawn by the account
depositor.
13. polynomial - ANSWER an expression of more than two algebraic terms, especially the sum of several
terms that contain different powers of the same variable(s).
14. inequalities - ANSWER the relation between two expressions that are not equal, employing a sign
such as ≠ "not equal to," > "greater than," or < "less than."
a symbolic expression of the fact that two quantities are not equal.
15.linear equation - ANSWER an equation between two variables that gives a straight line when plotted
on a graph.
16. equation - ANSWER a statement that the values of two mathematical expressions are equal
(indicated by the sign =).
17.expression - ANSWER Math Term Definition. Algebraic Expression. An algebraic expression is a
mathematical phrase that can contain ordinary numbers, variables (like x or y) and operators (like
add,subtract,multiply, and divide). Here are some algebraic expressions: a + 1.

expressed as a raised symbol beside the number or expression (e.g., 3 in 23 = 2 × 2 × 2).
a person who believes in and promotes the truth or benefits of an idea or theory.
22.mixed number - ANSWER a number consisting of an integer and a proper fraction.
