    An equation is written as .... - ProProfs

    An equation is written as ....

    • One expression

    • Three expressions

    • Two expressions

    • Four expressions

    Correct Answer
    A. Two expressions
    Explanation
    An equation is a mathematical statement that shows the equality between two expressions. In order to represent this equality, an equation typically consists of two expressions separated by an equal sign. Therefore, the correct answer is "two expressions" as it accurately describes the structure of an equation.

    Mathematics is usually studied in ....

    • Home

    • School

    • Museum

    • Restaurant

    Correct Answer
    A. School
    Explanation
    Mathematics is usually studied in school because it is an essential subject that is included in the curriculum of educational institutions. Schools provide a structured environment where students can learn and practice mathematical concepts and skills under the guidance of qualified teachers. The classroom setting allows for interactive learning, group discussions, and access to resources like textbooks and educational materials. Additionally, schools often have dedicated math teachers who specialize in teaching the subject, ensuring that students receive a comprehensive education in mathematics.

    The "=" symbol, which appears in every equation, was invented in ....

    • 1557

    • 1616

    • 1558

    • 1996

    Correct Answer
    A. 1557
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 1557. The "=" symbol, also known as the equal sign, is a fundamental mathematical symbol used to indicate that two expressions are equal. It was invented by Robert Recorde, a Welsh mathematician, in his book "The Whetstone of Witte" published in 1557. This symbol revolutionized mathematics by providing a concise and efficient way to express mathematical equations and relationships.

    ..... are also called unknowns. - ProProfs

    ..... are also called unknowns.

    • Variables

    • Constants

    • Operators

    • Coefficients

    Correct Answer
    A. Variables
    Explanation
    Variables are entities that can take on different values, hence they are also called unknowns. In mathematical equations, variables represent unknown quantities that need to be determined. They are used to solve equations and express relationships between different quantities. By assigning values to variables, we can find solutions to equations and understand the behavior of mathematical functions. Therefore, variables are commonly referred to as unknowns.

    There are how many kinds of equations? - ProProfs

    There are how many kinds of equations?

    • One

    • Two

    • Three

    • Four

    Correct Answer
    A. Two
    Explanation
    The given question asks about the number of kinds of equations. The answer "two" implies that there are only two kinds of equations. This suggests that there are two main types of equations, which could be further explained as linear equations and quadratic equations, or any other specific types of equations that are commonly known.

    Algebra studies how many main families of equations? - ProProfs

    Algebra studies how many main families of equations?

    • Four

    • Three

    • One

    • Two

    Correct Answer
    A. Two
    Explanation
    Algebra studies two main families of equations. This implies that algebra focuses on two types of equations, which may include linear equations, quadratic equations, exponential equations, or any other types of equations that fall under these two families.

    The "=" symbol, which appears in every equation, was invented in 1557 by .....

    • Albert Eisntein

    • Robert Recorde

    • Isaac Newton

    • Bill Nye

    Correct Answer
    A. Robert Recorde
    Explanation
    Robert Recorde is credited with inventing the "=" symbol, also known as the equals sign, in 1557. This symbol is used in every equation to denote equality between two expressions or values. Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, and Bill Nye are all well-known figures in their respective fields, but they are not associated with the invention of the "=" symbol.

    Who is not known as a mathematician here?

    • Albert Einstein

    • Isaac Newton

    • Will Smith

    • Pythagoras

    Correct Answer
    A. Will Smith
    Explanation
    Will Smith is not known as a mathematician because he is primarily known as an actor and rapper, not for his contributions or expertise in mathematics. On the other hand, Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, and Pythagoras are all renowned mathematicians who have made significant contributions to the field.

    An equation is written as two expressions, connected by a .....

    • Equal sign

    • Addition sign

    • Multiplication sign

    • Subtraction sign

    Correct Answer
    A. Equal sign
    Explanation
    An equation is a mathematical statement that shows the equality between two expressions. The equal sign is used to connect these two expressions and indicate that they have the same value.
