EVALUATING ALGEBRA

1. 7x + 2 when x=3 = Example:

2. 5x + 6 when x=7 = 7y + 4 when y = 4

3. y + 16 when y=3 =
7(4) + 4 = 32
4. 2x – 9 when x=8 = 7 x 4 + 4 = 32

Answer = 32
5. 5x + 7 when x=1 =

6. 7x – 4 when x=3 =

7. 8y – 6 when y=2 =

8. 4y – 10 when y=5 =

9. 6 + 9x when x=2 =

4 y −2
10. when y=9 =
2
