ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS

What is the difference between a numeric


expression and an algebraic expression?

Numeric Expression Algebraic


Expression
-3 + 2 + 4 – 5 -3x + 2y
– 4z - 5
An algebraic expression consists
of three parts

• Variable
• Coefficient
• Constant
The variable is a symbol or letter that
represents a number.

What are the variables in the expression


below?

- 4x + 3y - 8z + 9
The coefficient is the number that multiplies the
variable. More plainly, it is the number in front of
a variable.

What are the coefficients in the expression below?

- 4x + 3y - 8z + 9
The constant is any term that does not
have a variable.

What is the constant in the expression


below?

- 8 + 5y + 3x
• Simplifying expressions involves combining like terms
• Like Terms have variables raised to the same powers
• What terms are like terms with 4a2b?

-16ab 3ab2 -7a2b


11a2b2 5a2b
When combining like
terms:
• you group like terms
together
• Then you use addition rules
to combine the coefficients
Simplify
Ex 1: - 6x + 5y – 3x + y
–8
Simplify

Ex 2: -2x – 8y + 5x
– 4y
EX 3: 5a – 2b + c – 5b + 4b
4x - 6x + 3x – 4x
Ex 4:
2 2
+ 7x 2
+
1-5
LET’S PRACTICE!- SIMPLIFY EACH EXPRESSION
• -5x + 4x – 7 – x – 2 =

• 3m – 8m – 5d – 2d – 4m =

• - 8 – b – 5d – 2d – 4m =

• 3y – 2y + 9 – 5y – 4 =
PRACTICE: EXERCISE 6C PAGE 234 #S 50
