> Algebraic expressions contain variables such as xand n.
xand n can represent any numbers you choose.
Here are some examples of algebraic expressions and what they mean,
x+5: Five more than a number
Three less than a number
Three subtract a number
5x Five times a number
Sn+3: Five times a number, then add 3; or
three more than five times a number
(One hundred divided by a number
m7 A number divided by one hundred
> In the algebraic expression 7¢+ 2
7 is the numerical coefficient of the variable,
2s the constant term.
tis the variable.
> An algebraic expression can help you solve
similar problems more efficiently. Once you
know the algebraic expression, you can use
it again, even if the numbers change.
Suppose you earn $8 per hour.
For 3 hours, you earn: 3 X $8 = $24
For thours, you earn: t X $8 = 8¢ dollars

> To evaluate an expression means to substitute a number for the variable,
then calculate the answer.
‘To evaluate 2a—5 for a=7:
Replace a with 7 in the expression 2a— 5.
