Today we are going to:

• write algebraic expressions by


representing unknown
quantities; and
• evaluate algebraic expressions
by substituting the given value
for the variable.
Write an algebraic expression for each of
the following statements.
(a) Add 3 to p
p+3
(b) Subtract 2 from the product of 3 and
x
3x
(c) Divide the sum of – 2
m and n by 5 m+n
(d) Multiply 7 to half of t 5

Algebraic Expression in Two or more
unknown
Example :
State the number of unknown in each of the
following algebraic expressions.
(a) 2a + 2b (b) 100 – 2pqr (c) hjk + 8p – 19q

Answer :
• 2a + 2b has two unknown : a and b
• 100 – 2pqr has three unknown : p, q and r
• hjk + 8p – 19q has five unknown : h, j, k, p and q
Evaluating Algebraic Expression

*To evaluate an algebraic expression is to


find the value of the expression.
STEPS:
1. Substitute the given value for the variables
(replace letters with the given numbers)
2. Solve using the order of operations (PEMDAS)
Example :

Evaluate 2x + 5y when x = 4 and


y=2

Solution :
2x + 5y
= 2 (4) + 5 (2)
= 8 + 10
= 18
Evaluate p+2q+ 3r given p = 2
q = 4, r = 6

=2+ 2(4) + 3(6)


=2 + 8 + 18
=28
Example :
Evaluate 3c + 5 if c = 5 and d = 1
4d
Solution :
3c + 5 = 3 (5) + 5
4d 4 (1)
= 15 + 5
4
= 20
4
= 5
