1. Reading & Evaluating ALGEBRAIC eXPRESSIONS

2. Write an algebraic expression for the following trick:
Take the month number from your birthday (January = 1, February = 2, etc.)
Multiply that by 5
Then add 6
Then multiply that total by 4
Then add 9
Then multiply this total by 5 once again
Add to that total the day in which you were born (If you were born on the 18th, you add 18)
Finally, subtract 165
You should end with the month and day you were born!!

6. Find an algebraic expression that represents each statement
Three times a number minus seven x - 7
A number minus seven, then multiplied by three --- 3(x – 7)
A shirt originally cost c dollars and is on sale for 60% of the original cost --- $0.6c
The total number of hours worked during d days for persons working seven hours each day --- 7d
Total amount of pay for working h hours at a wage of $7.25 per hour --- $7.25h
