 The sum of two numbers is 20.

If one
number is 6, what is the other number?

 Find two numbers, such that one


number is 3 less than twice the other;
and their sum is 15.
 20 +(5)(3) and 18 -6  3
Arithmetic expressions.

 7x + y , 2x, -3y+4, and 6/a +3bc – 2


Algebraic expressions
The letter s that represent numbers are
called VARIABLES (unknown)
 Any algebraic expression separated from another
algebraic expression by plus or minus sign like:
5x4 + 2x3y3 – xy – 7
TERM

5x4 First term


2x3y3 Second term
xy Third Term
7 Fourth Term
 A term may be a number or a letter, or product
or quotient of numbers and letters.
7x, y, 6/a, 3bc, and -26

7x

Numerical coefficient Literal coefficient

*A term without a variable is what we call a


CONSTANT TERM
 Algebraic expressions are classified according to
their number of terms
5xy One term MONOMIAL
4x + 3y Two terms BINOMIAL
7x2 – 6x + 5 Three terms TRINOMIAL

An expressions with more than one term is a


MULTINOMIAL or a POLYNOMIAL
 9x-1, 7x-2, 5x ½ , 6/x + 3/y

This expressions are not polynomial

 (x+2), (x – 3), and x – 1


x+2
This quantities are called compound
terms
Count the number and give the classification
of terms in each algebraic expression.
