The word equation and its cognates in other languages may have subtly different meanings; for example, in French an équation is defined as containing one or more variables, while in English, any equality is an equation. The most common type of equation is a polynomial equation (commonly called also an algebraic equation) in which the two sides are polynomials.The sides of a polynomial equation contain one or more terms. For example, the equation
