Are these expressions equivalent? 3n - n = n - 3n
No. If you make n=1 the left side would be 3-1 and the right side would be 1-3. Therefore these are not equivalent.

Are these expressions equivalent? 5ab + 7b + 3a - 5ab = 10ab
No. You can only add coefficients of variables that are the same. I cannot add 7a and 3b but I can subtract 5ab from 5ab.
20
Are these expression equivalent? 7a x 3b = 21ab
Yes. I can multiply coefficients of any variables so I can multiply 7a and 3b together to get 21ab.

What is a variable? Give an example
A variable is a letter that represents any given number (This is something we do not know in a problem.) Example: 3x + 5 with the x being the variable.

What is an operation? Give an example.
An operation is a symbol (+,-,x,/) that tells us what to do in a math problem. An example would be addition.
