To EVALUATE means to FIND THE VALUE OF THE EXPRESSION when the value of the variables are known. • FIRST – replace the variables with the known (given) value. • THEN – follow the Order of Operations.
First – replace the variables with the given values. Use the Order of Operations to find your answer. REDUCE 1) Evaluate for j = 8 and k = 12
2) Evaluate for x =4, y = 4, z = 2 • First – replace the variables with the given values. • Use the Order of Operations to find your answer.
3) Evaluate for x = 3, y = 2 ½ , z = ½ • First – replace the variables with the given values. • Use the Order of Operations to find your answer.
