Expressions
Math expressions represent a convenient way to translate verbal expressions
![Page 4: Algebraic Expressions. Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one. Malcolm Forbes.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ed55503460f94be5d95/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What is the area of a rectangle?
Length times WidthIf the length is 3 meters and the width is 2 meters, what is the area?
A = L x WA = 3 x 2 = 6 m2
A, L and W are the variables. It is any letter that represents an unknown number.
![Page 5: Algebraic Expressions. Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one. Malcolm Forbes.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ed55503460f94be5d95/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
An algebraic expression is a quantity that contains numbers and variables.
x + y , 3a2 a , 3x + 2y z
A term is a number, a variable, or a product of numbers and variables.

Components of an Algebraic Expression
Constant term: fancy name for a number
Variable term: terms with lettersExample: 3xy – 4z + 17
Variable expression with 3 terms: 3xy, -4z, 172 variable terms and 1 constant term
![Page 7: Algebraic Expressions. Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one. Malcolm Forbes.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ed55503460f94be5d95/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Variable Terms
Consist of two partsThe variable(letter) part The number part
Example:2xy has a coefficient of 2-6j has a coefficient of –6W has a coefficient of 1

In expressions, there are many different ways to write multiplication.
1) ab 2) a • b 3) a(b) or (a)b 4) (a)(b) 5) a x b
We are not going to use the multiplication symbol any more. Why?
![Page 9: Algebraic Expressions. Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one. Malcolm Forbes.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ed55503460f94be5d95/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Division, on the other hand, is written as:
1)
2) x ÷ 3
x

Example of evaluating an expression.
Evaluate 3xy – 2x + 7y when x = 2 and y = 3
3(2)(3) – 2(2) + 7(3)18 – 4 + 2114 + 2135The value of the expression is 35.

We simplify variable expressions by combining like terms.To combine like terms, work with the
coefficients of the like terms

Combining Like Terms
t + t + t+ t + t
There are five variables which are like terms therefore we simply add them like we would if they were numbers.
t + t + t+ t + t = 5t
![Page 25: Algebraic Expressions. Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one. Malcolm Forbes.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ed55503460f94be5d95/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Combining Like Terms
4t + 3t + t = (4+3+1)t = 8t
2t2 + 8 – 5t2
Rearrange the variables so that all like terms are side by side.2t2 – 5t2 + 8 (notice that the sign in front of the number came with the number)
2t2 – 5t2 + 8 = -3t2 + 8

Simplifying Algebraic Expressions
Rewrite using as few symbols as possible Use the distributive property if necessary
to remove parentheses. Combine like terms More often than not will have numbers and
letters in the final answer.
