Equations must have an equals sign and use the correct variable names:
y = 5x+2 will be incorrect if the answer is w = 5y+2
Examples of valid equations that are equivalent:
32= 5*x + 2 is the same as 30= 5x or x = 6
y = (x-1)^2+3 is the same as y 3 = (x-1)^2
x^2 + xy + y^2 = 13x is the same as y* (y+x) = 13x - x^2
• If there is no equation that solves the question:
Enter NONE OF DNE (this may vary from problem to problem)
Examples of constants used in equations:
pi, e e^1
• Functions may be used in equations, but may not be applied across the equals sign:
sqrt(x) = sqrt (5) is valid, but sqrt(x=5) is not
