EVALUATING ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS
Write an algebraic expression for each of the following statements. • Add 3 to p (b) Subtract 2 from the product of 3 and x (c) Divide the sum of m and n by 5 (d) Multiply 7 to half of t p + 3 3x – 2 m + n 5 7t 2
Algebraic Expression in Two or more unknown Example : State the number of unknown in each of the following algebraic expressions. (a) 2a + 2b (b) 100 – 2pqr (c) hjk + 8p – 19q Answer : • 2a + 2b has two unknown : a and b • 100 – 2pqr has three unknown : p, q and r • hjk + 8p – 19q has five unknown : h, j, k, p and q
Evaluating Algebraic Expression *To evaluate an algebraic expression is to find the value of the expression. STEPS: 1. Substitute the given value for the variables (replace letters with the given numbers) 2. Solve using the order of operations (PEMDAS)
Example : Evaluate 2x + 5y when x = 4 and y = 2 Solution : 2x + 5y = 2 (4) + 5 (2) = 8 + 10 = 18
Evaluate p+2q+ 3r given p = 2 q = 4, r = 6 =2+ 2(4) + 3(6) =2 + 8 + 18 =28
Example : Evaluate 3c + 5 if c = 5 and d = 1 4d Solution : 3c + 5 = 3 (5) + 5 4 d 4 (1) = 15 + 5 4 = 20 4 = 5
ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS Step 1 Substitute the given values for the variables. Step 2 Solve using the order of Operations PEMDAS.
