Simplify and Evaluate algebraic expressions Unit 2 lesson 1
Order of operations-Steps 1. Parentheses or other grouping symbols(evaluate what’s within) . 2. Exponents (evaluate) 3.Multiply or Divide in order from left to right. 4. Add or Subtract in order from left to right PEMDAS Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally
PEMDAS Example 1 *Follow the order of operations ( + 2) =
Commutative and Associative Commutative property of addition a + b = b + a Commutative property of multiplication ab = ba Associative property of addition (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) Associative property of multiplication (a x b) x c = a x (b x c)
Commutative property of addition a + b = b + a Associative property of addition (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) Example 2 *Use number properties and like terms (11k + 5) + 2k
Commutative property of addition a + b = b + a Associative property of addition (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) Example 3 * Use the properties of addition 4s + 5t + (-3s) + 4t
Distributive property Distributive property over addition a(b + c) = ab + ac Distributive property over subtraction a(b - c) = ab - ac
Example 4 *Use number properties and combine like terms 2(4m + n ) – 2n
Example 5 *Combine like terms and use distributive property to find the GCF * Simplify and factor this expression 6x + 3x + 15y + 12y
Example 6 * Substitute the value of each variable into the expression. Evaluate this expression when a = 8 and b = -7 12 + 3a – b
Example 7 *Substitute the value of each variable into the expression. Evaluate this expression when m = -3 and n = -4 + n
