Essential Question: How is the distributive property useful in simplifying expressions?

1-2: Algebraic Expressions Definitions
A symbol (usually a letter) that represents one or more numbers is called a variable
An expression that contains one or more variables is called an algebraic expression or variable expression
You evaluate an expression by substituting numbers for the variable in an expression

1-2: Algebraic Expressions Evaluating an Algebraic Expression
Evaluate a – 2b + ab for a = 3 and b = -1

1-2: Algebraic Expressions Evaluating an Algebraic Expression
Evaluate a – 2b + ab for a = 3 and b = -1
Substitute the letters in the equation for their numerical value a – 2b + ab (3) – 2(-1) + (3)(-1)

1-2: Algebraic Expressions Evaluating an Algebraic Expression
Evaluate a – 2b + ab for a = 3 and b = -1
Substitute the letters in the equation for their numerical value a – 2b + ab (3) – 2(-1) + (3)(-1)
Use PEMDAS 3 + 2 – 3 5 – 3 2

1-2: Algebraic Expressions Evaluating an Algebraic Expression with
Exponents Evaluate -x2 – 2(x + 1) for x = 3

1-2: Algebraic Expressions Evaluating an Algebraic Expression with
Exponents Evaluate -x2 – 2(x + 1) for x = 3
Solved no differently. First substitute -x2 – 2(x + 1) -(3)2 – 2((3) + 1)

Exponents Evaluate -x2 – 2(x + 1) for x = 3
Solved no differently. First substitute -x2 – 2(x + 1) -(3)2 – 2((3) + 1)
Then use PEMDAS -(3)2 – 2(4) -9 – 2(4) -9 – 8 -17

1-2: Algebraic Expressions Evaluating using word problems
The expression -0.3y + 61 models the percent of eligible voters who voted in presidential elections from 1960 to 2000. In the expression, y represents the number of years since 1960. Find the approximate percentage of eligible voters who voted in 1988.

The expression -0.3y + 61 models the percent of eligible voters who voted in presidential elections from 1960 to 2000. In the expression, y represents the number of years since 1960. Find the approximate percentage of eligible voters who voted in 1988.
Since we’re looking for the year 1988, and ‘y’ represents the number of years since 1960, we’ll use 1988-1960 = 28 for y in the equation -0.3(28) + 61 -8.4 + 61 = 52.6 So about 52.6% of eligible voters voted in 1988.

1-2: Algebraic Expressions Some more definitions
A number, variable, or the product of numbers and variables is called a term
If there is a number involved in the term, it is called a coefficient
Terms that share the same variable parts can be combined
Some examples: 3r2 & -r2
-2xy3 & 3xy3
When like terms are combined (added/subtracted), only the coefficient is changed.

1-2: Algebraic Expressions Some properties for simplifying expressions
Subtraction a – b = a + (-b)
Division
The rest (page 13 of your book) are pretty self-explanatory
