An Unknown in an equation is the variable to be solved.

Plug in known values and use a variable to represent the unknown quantity. If the numeric part of one ratio is a multiple of the corresponding part of the other ratio, we can calculate the unknown quantity by multiplying the other part of the given ratio by the same number.

: someone or something whose abilities or characteristics are not yet known If you’ve never been published before, you’re an unknown quantity, so you’re going to have difficulty selling your first novel.

A proven step-by-step method for solving word problems is actually quite simple.

1. Read the problem out loud to yourself.
2. Draw a Picture.
3. Think “What do I need to find?”
4. List what is given.
5. Find the key words.
6. Solve.
7. Check your work.

However, when most people talk about equations, they mean algebraic equations. These are equations that involve letters as well as numbers. Letters are used to replace some of the numbers where a numerical expression would be too complicated, or where you want to generalise rather than use specific numbers.

In the equation of a straight line (when the equation is written as “y = mx + b”), the slope is the number “m” that is multiplied on the x, and “b” is the y-intercept (that is, the point where the line crosses the vertical y-axis). This useful form of the line equation is sensibly named the “slope-intercept form”.

We have 4 ways of solving one-step equations: Adding, Substracting, multiplication and division.

R = real numbers, Z = integers, N=natural numbers, Q = rational numbers, P = irrational numbers.

What is the Z number set? Z is the set of integers, ie. positive, negative or zero. Example: …, -100., -12, -11, -10., -5, -4, -3, -2, – 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12., 100.

The four most common number system types are:

• Decimal number system (Base- 10)
• Binary number system (Base- 2)
• Octal number system (Base-8)
• Hexadecimal number system (Base- 16)

No. No,numbers don’t look the same in every language. For example,Chinese numbers doesn’t similar to other languages,it’s writen not Latin alphabet.

Roman numeral system

The most commonly used numeral system is the decimal positional numeral system, the decimal referring to the use of 10 symbols—0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9—to construct all numbers. This was an invention of the Indians, perfected by medieval Islam.

Lesson Summary

Number systems are the technique to represent numbers in the computer system architecture, every value that you are saving or getting into/from computer memory has a defined number system. Computer architecture supports following number systems. Binary number system. Octal number system. Decimal number system.

The octal numeral system, or oct for short, is the base-8 number system, and uses the digits 0 to 7. Octal numerals can be made from binary numerals by grouping consecutive binary digits into groups of three (starting from the right). For example, the binary representation for decimal 74 is 1001010.

A numeral system (or system of numeration) is a writing system for expressing numbers; that is, a mathematical notation for representing numbers of a given set, using digits or other symbols in a consistent manner. The number the numeral represents is called its value.

Introduction to number system class 9. The collection of numbers is called the number system. These numbers are of different types such as natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers and irrational numbers. p/q form, where p and q are integers and q is not zero.
