 “Seven less than twice b equals 10.”  Squared means use a power of 2
and increased stands for adding. It didn’t give

Seven less means we must subtract 7

and twice b stands for multiplication.

Evaluating Algebraic Expression

- It is the process of determining the value of an algebraic
expression for a given value of each variable in an expression.
- The result of the expression is called the value of the
expressions.
- In evaluating algebraic expressions, all you need to do is to
simply substitute the assigned value to each variable, then
simplify by performing the operations involved in proper
order.
PEMDAS Rule:
P – Parenthesis/ Groupings
E – Exponent
M/D – Multiplication or Division
A/S – Addition or Subtraction

Examples:
1. Find the value of
x + 7 if x=3
=3+7
= 10
2. Find the value of 8x + 5, if x = 4
=8(4) + 5
=32+ 5
= 37

ACTIVITY:
Directions: Evaluate the given expression
1. x – 6, if x=10
2. 2x + 11, if x=4
3. x2 + 12, if x=7
4. p2 +q; use p= 2, and q = 3
2. x + y + y; use x = -5, and y = -2
