Chapter 1 Section 1 Evaluate expressions Objective: Students will evaluate algebraic expressions and use exponents. Standard: A.SSE.1 & A.SSE.2
Evaluate Expressions Variable: letter used to represent one or more numbers, ex 3 + x Algebraic expressions: Expression that includes at least one variable, does NOT have an equal sign, ex 3 + x
Evaluate the expression when x = 3 Step 1: Substitute 3 for x 1. 3x = 3 • 3 = 9 2. 6.2 - x = Step 1: Substitute 3 for x 6.2 - 3 = 6.2 - 3.0 3.2
Word Problems 3. The total cost of seeing a movie at a theater can be represented by the expression a + r where a is the cost (in dollars) of admission and r is the cost (in dollars) of refreshments. Suppose you pay $7.50 for admission and $7.25 for refreshments. Find the total cost. Total cost = a + r Write expression. Substitute 7.50 for a and 7.25 for r. Total cost = 7.50 + 7.25 = $14.75
