Algebra: a language of symbols including variables Variable: a symbol, usually a letter, used to represent a number.
Evaluate One-Step Expressions Algebraic expressions contain at least one variable and at least one operation. The letter X is often used as a variable. To avoid confusion with the symbol x, there are other ways to show multiplication
Examples Evaluate 16 + b if b = 25. Evaluate x-y if x=64 and y=27.
Evaluate 6x if x=1/2
Evaluate Multi-Step Expressions To evaluate multi-step expressions, replace each variable with the correct value and follow the order of operations.
