Variables
Algebraic expressions
Variables are used to change verbal expressions into algebraic expressions, that is, expressions that are
composed of letters that stand for numbers. Key words that can help you translate words into letters
and numbers include:
Example 1

7/8/2018 Variables and Algebraic Expressions
Give the algebraic expression for each of the following.
4. x divided by 7
Evaluating expressions
To evaluate an expression, just replace the variables with grouping symbols, insert the values given for
the variables, and do the arithmetic. Remember to follow the order of the operations: parentheses,
exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction.
