Answer by MathLover1(20850)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are five main types of algebraic equations, distinguished by the
position of variables, the types of operators and functions used, and the behavior of their graphs. Each type of equation has a different expected
input and produces an output with a different interpretation.
Monomial/Polynomial Equations
Monomials and polynomials are equations consisting of variable terms
with whole number exponents. Polynomials are classified by the number of
terms in the expression:
Monomials have one term, binomials have two terms, trinomials have three terms. Any expression with more than one term is called a polynomial.
Exponential Equations
Exponential equations are distinguished from polynomials in that they have variable terms in the exponents.
Logarithmic Equations
Logarithmic functions are the inverse of exponential functions. For the equation  , the inverse function is  .
Rational Equations
Rational equations are algebraic equations of the form  , where  and  are both polynomials.
Trigonometric Equations
Trigonometric equations contain the trigonometric functions:
sin, cos,tan, sec, csc and cot
in your case, equation  has three terms: so, it is
