Variables or Letters
Examples: �x, �y, �a, ℎh, �p, etc.
Arithmetic Operations
Examples: ++ (addition), –– (subtraction)
, ×× (multiplication) , ÷÷ (division)
The following are easy examples that can help you get
familiar with the operations of addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division.
Addition
the sum of �x and 55 → �+5x+5
Subtraction
the difference of �y and 33 → �−3y−3
Multiplication
the product of �n and 22 → 2�2n
Division
the quotient of �k and 77 → �77k
as 4�4n
Therefore, the sum of the quotient and product
is �2+4�2m+4n.
Example 4: The difference of the
product of 77 and �w, and the quotient
of 22 and �v.
as 2�v2
Therefore, the difference of the product and quotient
is 7�–2�7w–v2.
a number minus 11 k − 11
11 minus a number 11 − k
7 times a number 7p
double a number 2x
triple a number 3x

Solution:
Now, we’ll evaluate the value of �=4x=4 to verify if the
number we found satisfies the original algebraic
sentence.
Solution:
Solution:
We need to evaluate the value of �=8m=8 to check if
the number we got makes our algebraic equation true.
Great! The values on both sides of the equation are
equal to each other. Therefore, the number 8 is the
correct answer to our original algebraic sentence.
value) is multiplied by 22
With these in mind, let’s write our algebraic equation.
Notice that we used the variable �d in our equation to
stand for our unknown value. Let’s now proceed and
solve for �d and afterward, check if the value we get
indeed makes the equation true.
Solution:
Evaluate the value of �=1d=1:
