How to evaluate algebraic expressions?
Evaluate the algebraic expression when n=6.

1.) n + 8 2.) n - 2
6+8 6-2
14 4

Evaluate means solve by substitution

Evaluate the algebraic expression when
x=2 and y = -1.
1.) 2x + 3y 2.) -
2(2) + 3(-1) -
4 + (-3) -(4) – (-2)
3.)
1 -4 + 2
= -2

Let’s try!
Evaluate the algebraic expression when
x= -3 and y = 2.

1.) 5x – 2y
2.)
3.)
4.)
5.)
Think deep! Word problem 1

Thess and her mom went to shop at a mall. Her

mother parked their car on the nearest parking area
outside the mall since the mall’s parking area is
already full. The parking fee is P 50.00 for the first 3
hours and P25.00 per hour for the succeeding hours.
If they spend x hours in the mall, how much will they
pay if they parked for 5 hours?
Think deep! Word problem 2
Nilo bought 10 boxes of pens with x pens
in each box. He then gave 12 pens to his
friends. Express the number of remaining
pens as an algebraic expression. If each box
contains 10 pieces of pens, how many pens
does Nilo have?
Think deep! Word problem 3

Juliana sells her personalized keychains

online. She charges her client P120.00 as a
fixed delivery fee. If a key chain is worth P
25.00 each, write an algebraic expression that
can be used to determine the cost of h key
chains. If Juliana’s client ordered 35 pieces of
keychains. How much will the client pay?
Group Activity! I can do more!
Instructions: Group yourselves into 5 and answer the word problem
below. Write your answers in a 1 whole sheet of paper and your group
members.
Simon has P 250.00. Their class is hosting a fundraising
project for the orphans in their barangay. There are y
students in their class and each of them will donate the
same amount of money to reach P 2 625.00.
a. Write an algebraic expression for the amount of money
left of Simon after his donation.
b. How much money will Simon have after his donation if
they are 35 in the class?
