Expressions You are familiar with the following type of numerical expressions: 12 + 6 3 (12) 6 (3 + 2) 15 - 4 (6)
What is a variable? In the expression 12 + B, the letter “B” is a variable. A variable is a letter or symbol that represents an unknown value.
What are coefficients? A coefficient is the number multiplied by the variable in an algebraic expression. Algebraic Expression Coefficient 6m + 5 6 8r + 7m + 4 8, 7 14b - 8 14
Algebraic Expressions When variables are used with other numbers, parentheses, or operations, they create an algebraic expression. a + 2 (a) (b) 3m + 6n - 6
What is a term? A term is the name given to a number, a variable, or a number and a variable combined by multiplication or division. Algebraic Expressions Terms a + 2 a, 2 3m + 6n - 6 3m, 6n, - 6
What are constants? • A constant is a number that cannot change its value. In the expression: 5x + 7y - 2 the constant is - 2.
Evaluation • Evaluate an algebraic expression – To find the value of an algebraic expression by substituting numbers for variables. • m+8 m=2 2 + 8 = 10 • r–3 r=5 5–3=2
Definitions • Simplify – Combine like terms and complete all operations m=2 •m+8+m 2m+8 • (2 x 2) + 8 4 + 8 = 12
Write Algebraic Expressions for These Word Phrases • A number s plus 2 s+2 • A number decrease by 1 k-1 • 31 less than a number x - 31 • A number b increased by 7 b+7 • The sum of a number & 6 n+6 • 9 more than a number z+9
Evaluate each algebraic expression when x = 10 •x+8 18 • x + 49 59 •x+x 20 •x-x 0 •x-7 3 • 42 - x 32
Complete This Table x x+6 5 11 10 16 21 27 32 38
Write an Algebraic Expression for These Situations • Scott’s brother is 2 years younger than Scott s-2 • The sum of two numbers is 12 v + c = 12 • The difference between two numbers is 5 m–n=5
