Guided Notes for Lesson 1.

3A – Evaluating variable expressions Date: _______________

A ______________________ is a letter that is used to represent a quantity whose value may change or vary.

A ________________________ is a mathematical phrase that can be made up of __________________ ,


numbers and operations.

Example Identify the variable(s) in each of the following expressions.

t2
a) 2 x  5 ____________ b) 2a  4 y __________ c) ____________
5h

The act of replacing variables with numbers in an expression is called ________________________.


When you substitute numbers in for variables, you must follow the order of operations.

Example 1: Evaluate k  12 for each value of k.

a) k  14 b) k  7

Example 2: Evaluate 15  h for each value of h. Show all work.

a) h  2 b) h  10

Example 3: Evaluate x  45 for each value of x.

a) x  78 b) x  89

Example 4: Evaluate 3r for each value of r.

a) r  8 b) r  5

Example 5: Evaluate 2 y  5 for each value of y.

a) y  7 b) y  3

Example 6: Evaluate each of the following for x  2 , y  3 , z  5 , and w  7 .

a) 5w  3z b) 2 x  3w c) 7 x  3 y

d) w  xy e) zw  y f) wx  yz

Guided Notes for Lesson 1.5A – One step equations (addition/subtraction) Date: _______________

An _____________________________ is a mathematical sentence showing two equal expressions.

To solve an equation means to find the only value of the variable that makes the equation ______________.

For example, in the equation x  6  10 , x = 4 is the only _____________________ When 4 is substituted


in for x, then 4 + 6 = 10. The number 4 makes the equation true.

Example 1: Decide if the given number is a solution to the equation (answer yes or no). This
is called a check.

? ? ?
a) x  5  12 x7 b) k  6  18 k  12 c) t  5  17 t  22

To solve an equation you use the __________________________________. You must always do the same
inverse operation to both sides of the equation.

Keep in mind you want the ______________________ all alone on one side of the equation.

Example 2: Solve the given equation and check your solution! These are called one-step
equations.

a) x  5  12 b) x  8  15

c) 13  n  9 d) 17  n  14
