EVALUATING ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS

Title
I. Introduction:

We have used operations on whole numbers, integers, fractions, and

decimals. Now, we will evaluate algebraic expressions in order to evaluate
the value of the unknown such as profit from sales or compute the monthly
wages.

II. MELC (with code):

Evaluates algebraic expressions for given values of the

variables.
Code : M7AL-lIc-1 (MELC page. 45)

III. Strategy:

A. Explore:

Let’s Remember: Fill Me!

Study the given example below. Fill in the blanks to complete the solution in
the table. Write your answer on your Mathematics notebook.

Example

Simplify: -2 + 3 [ (-1-1¿3 + ( -3 +2¿2]

Solution Processes

-2 + 3 [ (-1-1¿3 + ( -3 +2¿2 ] Perform operation in the grouping

symbol.
-2+ 3 [ (-2¿3 + (-1¿2 ] Raise numbers to their powers.
-2 + 3 [ -8 + 1] Add.
-2 + 3 ( -7 ) Multiply.
-2 + ( -21) Add.

 -23 The answer is -23.

Now, it’s your turn to answer the activity.

Simplify: 5∙ 4 ÷ 10 +¿ 62

Solution Processes

Did you get the correct answer? If not, do not worry because the next activity
will help you understand better.

B. Learn:

Remember that replacing a variable with a number demonstrates the

Substitution Property of Equality.

Substitution Property of Equality

If two quantities are equal,

then one quantity can be replaced by the other.

In symbols:

When a number is substituted for the variable in a polynomial, the polynomial

takes a numerical value. Finding the value is called evaluating the polynomial.

 To evaluate an algebraic expression means to find the value of the expression
when the variable is replaced by a given number. There are at least two steps
involved in evaluating an algebraic expressions:

1. Replacing the variable by the given number value through substitution

2. Performing the indicated arithmetic following the order of operations. Here
are the steps in simplifying the order of operations:
 First, simplify expressions within grouping symbols.
 Then simplify powers.
 Then simplify products and quotients in order from the left to right.
 Then simplify sums and differences in order from left to right.

Example 1:

Evaluate the polynomial 6 x 2+ 3 when:

a. x=0 b. x=3 c. x=−4

Solutions:

a. When x=0. We will substitute 0 for x. Then evaluate the resulting expression.

2 2
6 x + 3=6 ( 0 ) +3

¿ 6 ( 0 ) +3

¿ 0+3

b. When x=3. We will substitute 3 for x. Then evaluate the resulting expression.

2 2
6 x + 3=6 ( 3 ) +3

¿ 6 ( 9 ) +3

¿ 54+3

c. When x=-4. We will substitute -4 for x. Then

6 x 2+ 3=6 (−4 )2 +3

¿ 6 ( 16 ) +3

¿ 96+ 3 5
 When an expression contains more than one variable, you need a value for
each variable to get the numerical value of the polynomial.

Example 2:

4 x−3
Evaluate when:
3 y−4

a. x=1∧ y=−1 b. x=2∧ y=3

Solutions:

a. 4 x−3
3 y−4
