A variable is a letter that represents a value that can change or vary. The coefficient is the number multiplied by the variable. The constant is the number that does not change. Coefficient Variable constant + 7
An algebraic expression has one or more variables. To evaluate an algebraic expression, substitute a given number for the variable, and find the value of the resulting numerical expression.
Example 1: Evaluate each expression for the given value of the variable. A.x – 5 for x = 12 12– 5 Substitute 12 for x. 7 Subtract. B.2y + 1 for y = 4 2(4) + 1 Substitute 4 for y. 8 + 1 Multiply. 9 Add.
n Substitute Parentheses Multiply Subtract 5 6 7 Example 1C: Evaluate the expression for the given values of the variable. C.6(n + 2) – 4 for n = 5, 6, 7 6(5 + 2) – 4 6(7) – 4 38 42 – 4 6(6 + 2) – 4 6(8) – 4 44 48 – 4 6(7 + 2) – 4 6(9) – 4 50 54 – 4
Example 2: Evaluate each expression for the given value of the variables. A.4x + 3y for x = 2 and y = 1 4(2) + 3(1) Substitute 2 for x and 1 for y. 8 + 3 Multiply. 11 Add. B.8.5 r – 2p for r = 2 and p = 5.5 8.5(2) – 2(5.5) Substitute 2 for r and 5.5 for p. 17 – 11 Multiply. 6 Subtract.
Try This: Evaluate each expression for the given value of the variables. C.3x + 2y for x = 3 and y = 4 3(3) + 2(4) Substitute 3 for x and 4 for y. 9 + 8 Multiply. 17 Add. D.8q – 3.5r for q = 2.5 and r = 2 8(2.5) – 3.5(2) Substitute 2.5 for q and 2 for r. 20 – 7 Multiply. 13 Subtract.
Example 3: Use the expression 1.8c + 32 to convert the boiling point temperature from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. A.Boiling point of water at sea level: 100°C 1.8c + 32 1.8(100) + 32 Substitute 100 for c. 180 + 32 Multiply. 212 Add. 100°C = 212°F Water boils at 212°F.
