Vocabulary
“Evaluating” an expression means to perform the operation(s) in the expression so the final result is a standard number….
the “answer”!

Vocabulary
variable a letter or symbol used to stand for one or
more numbersSuppose you knew that the Panthers scored 35 points inthe first half of a game, but you didn’t know how manypoints they scored in the second half. You could use avariable to represent the number of points scored in thesecond half. 35 + p total points scored Use p to represent the points in the second half.

Evaluating algebraic expressions
To evaluate an algebraic expression, replace the variable with a number and perform the operation(s) in the expression.
Example: Evaluate x + 7, for x = 12
x + 7 replace the x with the given value, 12
12 + 7 perform the operation (add)
