Equations

Quick Definition: An equation is a way of saying two things are equal; it is literally a mathematical expression of equality, hence the name "equation." Just remembering that simple fact may help you understand some of the operations performed on equations later.

Example: 2X = 8 (two times the variable x is equal to the number 8)
