Lesson Jumpstart
Imagine getting a chilli and a piece of shallot in a supermarket. What do
you think is its total weight?

+
Creating Algebraic Expressions
Even if we don’t know the actual
weight of each vegetable, we can
express its weight using algebraic
expressions.
+
We can use variables in place of
a numeric value. It can be a letter
or a symbol.
x + y
In this case, x and y replace the
weights of chilli and shallot.
Creating Algebraic Expressions

What if we add another


piece of shallot that has the
same weight? How will the +
expression change?
Creating Algebraic Expressions

This is where coefficients will


come in. Coefficients are used in +
algebraic expressions to
represent how many sets of a

x + 2y
variable we have.

In this case, 2 is a coefficient of y.


How can you express the
total number of oranges?

Each basket has the same Each cup has the same
number of oranges. number of oranges.
How can you express the
total number of oranges?

The total number of oranges can be expressed as 3b + 5c

3b + 5c where b represents the number of oranges in each basket


and c represents the number of oranges in each cup.
Before we go, let’s look
back at these terms
