If it says to evaluate an expression, does it mean to answer it?

Evaluating an expression means either to solve the expressions or to simply it.

Solving an expression:

2 - (10 + 5)

A simply expression. After doing the math the answer comes out as -3.

2x + 3x

This is an algebraic expression. This means we have variables like x and y.
 In this case, we can only simplify it. Because we don't know what x is equal to.

Because they are like terms (which means they have the variable) we can add them to together.

2x + 3x = 5x

I hope this answer clears up any misunderstandings about expressions and over all helped you learn something! If you still need some help, don't hesitate to DM on Brainly! I wish you best of luck on your journey of math!

EDIT:

Now what if you have an expression like this:

5x + 5m where x=4 and m=8

In mathematics, something like 5x is the same difference as 5 * x.
And x is just a placeholder for a number or for another variable.

And in this equation, x is equal to 4. So, we just replace x with 4.

5(4) + 5m

Same this with m. The variable m is equal to 8.

5(4) + 5(8)

We can solve!

5(4) + 5(8) = 20 + 40 = 60

Our answer is 60.

Just to add some information to support Noah's answer.

They will ask you to evaluate the expression when they give you the number for each unknown letters. For example : let's say we have
3x + 5z + 2y
They can ask you to evaluate it for x = 2, z=4, y=3
So now all you have to do is replace the numbers to the letters they belong to. Does that make since ?

Answer:

Coordinates of point P is (-14,3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that mid point of line segment \overline {PQ} is at <em>M(-9, 8.5).</em>

Q is at <em>(-4, 14)</em>.

Let coordinate of P be (x,y).

Using the ratio, we can say the following:

<em>The coordinates of mid point</em> (X,Y) of a line with endpoints (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) is given as:

X=\dfrac{(x_1+ x_2)}{2}

Y=\dfrac{(y_1+ y_2)}{2}

Using the formula for above given dimensions:

-9 =\dfrac{x+(-4)}{2}\\\Rightarrow x = -18+4 = -14

8.5=\dfrac{(14+ y)}{2}\\\Rightarrow y = 17-14 =3

So, the <em>coordinates of point P are</em> (-14,3).

I NEED HELP WITH THIS. PLEASE HELP. I'M GETTING GRADED ON IT TODAY.

Answer:

Point P = (-9,11)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point M: (1,3)               X and Y have the 2 on the bottom right of them

Midpoint N: (-5,7)

Point P: (X*2, Y*2)

( 1 + X*2          3  + Y*2 )

( _______     ________ )     =     (-5 , 7)

(      2         ,          2          )

( 1 + X*2 )

( _____ )     = -5  

(      2     )

Then multiply the left equation above by 2, and that cancels out the 2 being

divided on the bottom. Also, multiply the -5 by 2 and you get -10

1 + X*2 = -10

+1             +1

__________

X*2 =       -9    

X = -9

( 3 + Y*2 )

( ______ )       =  7

(      2       )

Then multiply the left  equation above by 2, and that cancels out the 2 being divided on the bottom. Also, multiply the 7 by 2 and you get 14

3 + Y*2 = 14

-3             -3

_________

Y*2 =       11

Y = 11

Hope this helps, good luck! :)

Find the greatest number that divides451, 328 and 673 leaving 1, 4 and 1,respectively as remainders.
Vesna [10]

You're looking for the largest number <em>x</em> such that

<em>x</em> ≡ 1 (mod 451)

<em>x</em> ≡ 4 (mod 328)

<em>x</em> ≡ 1 (mod 673)

Recall that

<em>x</em> ≡ <em>a</em> (mod <em>m</em>)

<em>x</em> ≡ <em>b</em> (mod <em>n</em>)

is solvable only when <em>a</em> ≡ <em>b</em> (mod gcd(<em>m</em>, <em>n</em>)). But this is not the case here; with <em>m</em> = 451 and <em>n</em> = 328, we have gcd(<em>m</em>, <em>n</em>) = 41, and clearly

1 ≡ 4 (mod 41)

is not true.

So there is no such number.

A student has a savings account earning 3% simple interest. She must pay $1200 for first-semester tuition by September 1 and $12
Bingel [31]

Using simple interest, it is found that she needs to earn $2,391.07 during the summer.

<h3>Simple Interest</h3>

Simple interest is used when there is a single compounding per time period.

The amount of money after t years in is modeled by:

A(t) = A(0)(1 + rt)

In which:

  • A(0) is the initial amount.
  • r is the interest rate, as a decimal.

For this problem, the objective is to have <u>$1200 in 3 months = 0.25 years</u>, hence the parameters are given as follows:

A(0.25) = 1200, t = 0.25, r = 0.03.

Hence we have to solve for A(0):

A(0)(1 + 0.03 x 0.25) = 1200

A(0) = 1200/(1 + 0.03 x 0.25)

A(0) = $1,191.07.

She also needs to earn $1,200 to pay the first-semester bill on time, hence:

1200 + 1191.07 = $2,391.07.

She needs to earn $2,391.07 during the summer.
