The Vietnamese word "đẳng thức" is a noun that translates to "equation" in English. It is used primarily in mathematics to refer to a statement that asserts the equality of two expressions.
An "đẳng thức" is like a mathematical sentence that says two things are the same in value. For example, in the equation (2 + 3 = 5), both sides of the equation represent the same value.
You can use "đẳng thức" when discussing math problems, teaching concepts in algebra, or solving equations. It is often used in phrases like "giải đẳng thức" (solve the equation) or "viết đẳng thức" (write the equation).
In more advanced mathematics, "đẳng thức" can refer to identities, which are equations that are true for all values of the variables involved. For example, the equation (a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)) is an identity because it holds true for all values of (a) and (b).
While "đẳng thức" primarily refers to equations in mathematics, in a broader context, it can also refer to equality or equivalence in other fields, such as philosophy or social sciences.
