1 VARIABLES AND EXPRESSIONS INTRO TO ALGEBRA AND GEOMETRY Angela Farris 2015

2 I can write and simplify expressions.

3 VARIABLES https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hK_LQaNDxi4 A variable is a letter or symbol used to represent an unknown value.

4 ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSION An expression such as 5m + 6 An algebraic expression contains at least one variable and at least one mathematical operation.

5 TRANSLATE PHRASES INTO ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS 35 more than the number of tickets sold The difference of six times a number and 10

6 EVALUATE EXPRESSIONS Let’s Do it! x – y + 6 if x = 27 and y = 12 Substitution Property of Equality Replace a variable with a number

7 EVALUATE EXPRESSIONS Let’s Do IT! X = 3, y = 4, and z = 7 6 y – 4 x ( z - x ) y 5 z + ( x + 4 y ) - 15

8 USE EXPRESSIONS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS East Middle School sold tickets for a school play. The price of an adult ticket was $3, and the price of a student ticket was $1. A.Write an expression that represents the total amount of money collected. B.Suppose 70 adult tickets and 85 student tickets were sold. How much money was collected? 3a + 1s $295
