Evaluate Evaluate means to find the value of an algebraic expression by substituting numbers in for variables. (Plug & Chug) m = 2 8 + m ? 8 + 2 10
Evaluate the expression if a = 3, b = 4, and c = 5 1) ab - c 3) (3)(4) - 5 2(3) + 4 2 6 + 4 2 12 - 5 6 + 2 = 8 7 2) 2a(b - c) 4) 2(3)(4 - 5) 2(4 + 5) 2(3)(-1) 3 18 2(9) -6 = = 6 3 3
Substitution Substitution is when you substitute numbers in for variables. (It’s the same as evaluating). Example:x = 4 x + 12 + x = ? Substitute the 4 in for x4 + 12 + 4 = 20
