Algebra I

Simplifying basic Algebraic expressions and solving problems involving solving for the
value of the unknown variable x.

1. Simplify the expression 2(3x+4x+5)


6x + 8x + 10
14x + 10
14x + 10

Distributive property
Combine like terms
Final Answer

2. Simplify the expression x + 2/4x + 23


1/2x + 1/2x + 23
x + 23
x + 23

Simplified the 2/4 to


Combine like term
Final Answer

3. Solve for the unknown variable x in the equation 2(3x+4x+5) = 38


6x + 8x + 10 = 38
14x + 10 = 38
14x + 10 + (10) = 38 +(-10)
14x = 28
(14/14)x = (28/14)
1/14(14)x = (28)1/14
x=2

Distributive property
Combine like terms
Addition property of Equality
Combine like terms
Divide both sides by 14 or multiply
1/14 to both sides (Multiplication
property of equality)

4. Simplify the expression [x-3y-1(1/x)]2


(x-3)2 (y-1)2 [(1/x)]2
x-6 y-2 (1/x2)
(1/x6) (1/y2) (1/x2)
1/(x6+2)(y2)
1/(x8)(y2)

Laws of Exponents: Power of a Product


Laws of Exponents: Power of a Power
Laws of Exponents: x-n = 1/xn
Laws of Exponents: Multiplication

Simplify

5. 3x + 5x + 3x = x2
11x = x2
11 = x

Combine like terms


Divide both sides by x
