Course Variables and Algebraic Expressions Ron Howard was born in You can find out what year Ron turned 16 by adding the year he was born to his age In algebra, letters are often used to represent numbers. You can use a letter such as a to represent Ron Howard’s age. When he turns a years old, the year will be a.

Course Variables and Algebraic Expressions The letter a has a value that can change, or vary. When a letter represents a number that can vary, it is called a variable. The year 1954 is a constant because the number cannot change. An algebraic expression consists of one or more variables. It usually contains constants and operations. For example, a is an algebraic expression for the year Ron Howard turns a certain age.

Course Variables and Algebraic Expressions To evaluate an algebraic expression, substitute a number for the variable. AgeYear born + age = year at age a a

Course Variables and Algebraic Expressions Learn to translate words into numbers, variables, and operations.

Course Variables and Algebraic Expressions Although they are closely related, a Great Dane weighs about 40 times as much as a Chihuahua. An expression for the weight of the Great Dane could be 40c, where c is the weight of the Chihuahua. When solving real-world problems, you will need to translate words, or verbal expressions, into algebraic expressions.
