Less than!

4. 7th 5-1 To evaluate an algebraic expression:
1.) Plug in the value for each variable and rewrite the expression
2.) Follow order of operations to solve (show work step by step)

5. Evaluate each expression
3m² ̶ 4 if m = -3
6s ̶ 3t if s = 4 and t = -2

10. 7th 5-3 NEED TO KNOW THE 5 PROPERTIES IN LESSON 3!
Commutative Property (+ or x)
Associative Property (+ or x)
Additive Identity
Multiplicative Identity
Multiplicative Property of Zero

11. Name the property shown by each statement.

3.) -3x – 4(5x + 7)
4.) 6(4a + 3b) – 8a

17. Identify the terms, like terms, coefficients, and constants in each expression.
1.) 9 – 5x – 2 + x
2.) -y + 4 – 7y

18. 7th 5-6 Add linear expressions STEPS:
1.) Get rid of subtraction signs (keep, change, opposite)
