True or False: 5 less than n =

Write an expression for five less than the product of a number n and 8

True or False: n is an algebraic expression

Write an algebraic expression for: the quotient of the product of two and n and m

Write a word expression for this:

The FIRST step in evaluating an algebraic expression is called the _____________step

Evaluate when n = -3: 3n – (-7)

Evaluate when n = -3 and r = -2: (nr) 2

Evaluate when n = -2 : (n – 3)(n – 4) ÷ (-3n)

Evaluate when n = -4 and p = 2: (3n np) n + 2p

We solve equations by using these operations

n + (-7) = 8 What do you do to solve this?

-4n = -12

a – (-9) = -4 What do you do to solve this?

Tell 3 things you could do to both sides of this equation to solve it: -x = 8

– 3 + 2j = 4 What is the “wrapping paper”?

-2b – 3 = -19 Solve

-8 – 3x= -17 Solve

1.2k – 6 = 6 Solve

2(-3p + 6) = -18 Solve (hint: it’s 3 steps!)

In most word problems “of” means what operation?

Write an equation: 4 less than twice a number n is 6

Write an equation: Two-thirds of a number n, decreased by 3, is 12

Write an equation then solve it: The quotient of a number n and -8, less 5, is 25

Write an equation then solve: Jim is 2 years less than twice his sister’s age. If Jim is 12 how old is his sister?
