1
3) One-half of the product of number p and q pq
4
4) The subtraction of 5 times of y from x x-5y
5) The product of three times of x and y is twelve 3x + y = 12

Evaluate each expression when x = -4

a) 2 + x = -2
b) x – 12 = -16
c) 7 – x = 11
Evaluate each expression when y = -3
a) y + (-17) = -20
b) y + 13 = 10
c) y – (-22) = 19
Evaluate each expression when x = -8 and y = 4
a) 6x - 5y = -48 – 20 = -68
b) x2 – 3y2 = 64 – 48 = 16
x −8 16 −8 8 32
c) y− + 2= 4 - +2= - + = =8
y 4 4 4 4 4
Simplify each the following expressions.
a) 7x - 12y – 3x + y = 7x – 3x - 12y + y = 4x - 11y
b) (-3a) + 5b – 12a + 8b = (-3a) – 12a + 5b + 8b = -15a + 13b
c) 3m - 12 + 7m – (-8n) + 2 – 9n = 3m + 7m – (-8n) – 9n - 12 + 2 = 10m - n -10
d) 11p – 2q – 3p – 2q = 11p – 3p – 2q – 2q = 8p – 4q
e) xy + 2x - 7yx – 7x = 2x – 7x + xy - 7yx = -5x - 6xy
f) -a – 20 – 4ab + 5b - 2 + 8b + 11a + 9ba
= -a + 11a + 5b + 8b – 4ab + 9ba – 20 -2
= 10a + 13b + 5ab - 22
Find the sum of each of the following pairs of expressions.
a) x + 4y and 6y = x + 4y + 6y = x + 10y
b) -34p + 6q and -2q + 7p = -34p + 7p + 6q – 2q = -27p + 4q
c) 5ab - 10cd and -4cd – 15ab = 5ab – 15ab -10cd – 4cd = -10ab - 24cd
d) x – 3y and -y – 9 = x – 3y -y – 9 = x – 4y – 9
