Evaluating Algebraic Expressions

variable - a letter or symbol that represents an unknown valueEx:

substitution - replacing a variable with a valueEx:

term - part of an algebraic expression that can be a number, a variable, or a product of bothEx: In the expression 2x + 14 the terms are 2x and 14

coefficient - the numerical factor in the term of an algebraic expressionEx:

Simplifying Algebraic Expressions

like terms - terms that have the same variables with the same corresponding exponents Ex: In the expression 2x + 4 + x + 1, the terms 2x and x are like terms, as are 4 and 1

equivalent expressions - expressions that are equal for all values of the variable Ex:

simplify - to write an equivalent expression by combining like terms Ex:

Mathematical Properties

commutative property - a + b = b + a

associative property - (a + b) = c = a + (b + c)

distributive property - a   (b + c) = (a   b) + (a   c)

Solving Equations

When solving equations, the objective is to get the variable on one side of the equation and everything else on the other.  In order to do this, you must "undo" the equation. Undoing an equation means that you perform opposite operations.  Addition and Subtraction are opposite operations.  Multiplication and Division are also opposites.

A.REI.3: Solve linear equations in one variable, including equations with coefficients represented by letters.

2.2. Solving Equations in One Variable• Some equations may have no solution. For example, when solving results in something impossible, like 2 = 6.

Solve the equation 2(3x + 1) = 6x + 14.

• Some equations will have infinitely many solutions. For example, when solving results in the same value on each side of the equal sign, such as 2x = 2x.

Solve the equation 3(4x + 2) = 12x + 6.

• Other equations will only have one solution.  For example, when solving results in the variable equal to a number, such as x = 5.

Solve the equation 5x + 9 = 2x – 36.
