1. Briefly discuss what Evaluation of Values of Algebraic Expressions is


about…
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.
Solve for x:
2. [(x + 2) / 2] + [(x – 1) / 3] = 4
Ans: x = 4
Solution:
[(x + 2) / 2] + [(x – 1) / 3] = 5x/5 + 2/3
5x / 6 * 6 + 2 / 3 * 6 = 4 * 6
5x + 4 = 24
5x + 4 – 4 + 24 – 4
5x = 20
5x/5 = 20 / 5
X=4
3. (1 – x )/4 = (x – 1)/5
Ans: x=1
Solution:
(1-x) * 5 = 4(x-1)
5 - 5x = 4x – 4
5 – 5x – 5 = 4x – 4 – 5
-5x = 4x – 9
-5x – 4x = 4x – 9 – 4x
-9x/-9 = 9 / 9
X= 1
4. Construct an algebraic expression using grouping symbols to subtract the
sum of A and B from C=
Ans: C- (A + B)
5. Translate the following into symbols/equation and evaluate it: One number
is four less than twice another. If the smaller number is divided by 2 and the
larger number is divided by 3, the sum of their quotients is 8. What are the
numbers?
Ans: The numbers are 8 & 12
Solution: Let x = 1st number
2x -4 = 2nd number
x / 2 + 2x + 4 / 3 = 8
6 [x / 2 + 2x + 4 / 3 = 8] 6 x=8
3x + 2 (2x -4) =48 2x - 4 = 2 (8) - 4
3x + 4x - 8 = 48 = 16 - 4
7x = 48 + 8 =12
7x = 56
7x / 7 = 56 / 7
x=8
6. Use the given inequality to illustrate the multiplication/division property
(hint: just perform what the property say):
Let your multiplier /divisor be 5:
X > Y where x = 2; y = 1
Ans: 5x >5y
5(2) > 5(1)
= 10 >5
x/5>y/5
= 2/5>1/5
