Evaluate Algebraic Expressions

In the last section, we simplified expressions using the order of operations. In this section, we’ll evaluate expressions—again following the order of operations.

To evaluate an algebraic expression means to find the value of the expression when the variable is replaced by a given number. To evaluate an expression, we substitute the given number for the variable in the expression and then simplify the expression using the order of operations.

Example 2.3.1: evaluate

Evaluate x+7 when

x=3

x=12

Solution

To evaluate, substitute 3 for x in the expression, and then simplify.

x+7

Substitute.

3+7

Add.

10

When x=3, the expression x+7 has a value of 10.

To evaluate, substitute 12 for x in the expression, and then simplify.

x+7

Substitute.

12+7

Add.

19

When x=12, the expression x+7 has a value of 19. Notice that we got different results for parts (a) and (b) even though we started with the same expression. This is because the values used for x were different. When we evaluate an expression, the value varies depending on the value used for the variable.

exercise 2.3.1

Evaluate: y+4 when

y=6

y=15

Answer a

Answer b

exercise 2.3.2

Evaluate: a−5 when

a=9

a=17

Answer a

Answer b

Example 2.3.2

Evaluate 9x−2, when

x=5

x=1

Solution

Remember ab means a times b, so 9x means 9 times x.

To evaluate the expression when x=5, we substitute 5 for x, and then simplify.

9x−2

Substitute 5 for x.

9⋅5−2

Multiply.

45−2

Subtract.

43

To evaluate the expression when x=1, we substitute 1 for x, and then simplify.

9x−2

Substitute 1 for x.

9⋅1−2

Multiply.

9−2

Subtract.

7

Notice that in part (a) that we wrote 9•5 and in part (b) we wrote 9(1). Both the dot and the parentheses tell us to multiply.

exercise 2.3.3

Evaluate: 8x−3, when

x=2

x=1

Answer a

Answer b

exercise 2.3.4

Evaluate: 4y−4, when

y=3

y=5

Answer a

Answer b

Example 2.3.3: evaluate

Evaluate x2 when x=10.

Solution

We substitute 10 for x, and then simplify the expression.

x2

Substitute 10 for x.

102

Use the definition of exponent.

Evaluate: 2x when x=6.

Answer

exercise 2.3.8

Evaluate: 3x when x=4.

Answer

Example 2.3.5: evaluate

Evaluate 3x+4y−6 when x=10 and y=2.

Solution

This expression contains two variables, so we must make two substitutions.

3x+4y−6

Substitute 10 for x and 2 for y.

3(10)+4(2)−6

Multiply.

30+8−6

Add and subtract left to right.

32

When x=10 and y=2, the expression 3x+4y−6 has a value of 32.

exercise 2.3.9

Evaluate: 2x+5y−4 when x=11 and y=3

Answer

exercise 2.3.10

Evaluate: 5x−2y−9 when x=7 and y=8

Answer

Example 2.3.6: evaluate

Evaluate 2x2+3x+8 when x=4.

Solution

We need to be careful when an expression has a variable with an exponent. In this expression, 2x2 means 2•x•x and is different from the expression (2x)2, which means 2x•2x.

2x2+3x+8

Substitute 4 for each x.

2(4)2+3(4)+8

Simplify 42.

2(16)+3(4)+8

Multiply.

32+12+8

Add.

52

exercise 2.3.11

Evaluate: 3x2+4x+1 when x=3.

Answer

exercise 2.3.12

Evaluate: 6x2−4x−7 when x=2.

Answer

Identify Terms, Coefficients, and Like Terms

Algebraic expressions are made up of terms. A term is a constant or the product of a constant and one or more variables. Some examples of terms are 7, y, 5x2, 9a, and 13xy.

Fill in the Blanks
tatyana61 [14]

Answer: This would fill 4 and 4/9 containers.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Quantity of walnuts in a container is given by

6\frac{2}{3}=\frac{20}{3}\ pounds

Quantity of walnuts which divided equally into containers is given by

1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}\ pounds

Now, number of containers they would fill is given by

\frac{\frac{20}{3}}{\frac{3}{2}}=\frac{20\times 2}{3\times 3}=\frac{40}{9}

When we change it into mixed fractions we get,

\frac{40}{9}=4\frac{4}{9}

So, blank will be filled with '4'.

Un edificio proyecta una sombra de 7.5m.mientras que un arbol que mide 1.6 m de altura proyecta una sombra 1.85 M¿Cual es la alt
sattari [20]

Answer: The height of the building is 6.49 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be translated to:

"A building projects a 7.5 m shadow, while a tree with a height of 1.6 m projects a shadow of 1.85 m.

Which is the height of the building?"

We can conclude that the ratio between the projected shadow is and the actual height is constant for both objects, this means that if H is the height of the building, we need to have:

(height of the building)/(shadow of the building) = (height of the tree)/(shadow of the tree)

H/7.5m = 1.6m/1.85m

H = (1.6m/1.85m)*7.5m = 6.49m

The height of the building is 6.49 meters.
