 * Expression - An expression can contain variables, numbers, and operations. But does not have an equal sign.
 * Example(s): 7 + G [Take note that there is no equal sign!] _ [130k + 16]
 * Equation - An equation is a statement quantities are equal.
 * Example(s): 8 + 2 = 10 [In this case, an equation does have an equal sign. And a little corny trick to remember this is equal. "Equa", that is part of Equation, that's at least how I know it ;)] _ 6 x 5 = 30 _ [6y - 9p = 5].
 * Inequality - Multiple solutions to an inequality. Basically if it has, or an alligator mouth.
 * Example(s): [7 + m < 15] _ [2h < 20]
 * Variable - A variable is a letter in an equation. It can be different every time.
 * Coefficient - The number in front of variable.
 * Example(s): [When a variable is by itself, the coeffition is one] E 2x [2 is coefficient, variable is x] + 3f [3 is coefficient, variable is f] - 11 = 15 + j.
 * Term - A term is either a number, or a product of a number and a variable. Usually, seperated by +, -, and =. No multiplication? We don't multiply. No division? We divide, not with division symbol.
 * Example(s): 6hk - 11d - 19 = 28 are all terms
 * Constant - A number is not connected to a variable.
 * Example(s): 7 [7 is constant, since it's alone] + 4hg
