VARIABLES AND EXPRESSIONS
N-GEN MATH® ALGEBRA I
Algebra is the process of using the properties of numbers to manipulate unknown or changing quantities. These
quantities are known as variables and are represented using letters to distinguish them from normal numbers.
When we combine variables and/or numbers together using arithmetic operations, we get what are known as
expressions.
EXPRESSIONS
An expression is any combination of numbers and/or variables using addition, multiplication, subtraction,
division, and other operations (such as exponents).

Exercise #1: Review the order of operations by giving the value of each of the following purely numerical
expressions. Do these without a calculator in order to review basic middle school number concepts.
1
(a) 3  2  7 (b) 8   6  24  6 (c) 4  8  6   7  5  3

16
52  4 2  3  52
(d) (e) 22  36  64 (f) 2 3
1 5 2

Knowing the order of operations is essential. Once we move past expressions that contain only numbers to ones
that contain variables, you need to be able to “read” an expression to understand what is being done to the
variable.
Exercise #2: If the letter x represents some unknown quantity, explain the calculations/operations that each of
the following expressions represent. State both the operations and the order in which they occur.
x4
(a) 3x  8 (b) (c) 4 x 2  9

If you can read an algebraic expression (i.e. one that contains variables), then you should also be able to evaluate
the expression. Evaluating an expression is one of the most important building blocks of algebra.

EVALUATING AN EXPRESSION
Finding the final value of an expression when all variable values are known.

Exercise #3: Find the value of each expression given. Show the steps you use to find your final answer. Only use
your calculator, if necessary, to check your final results. Simplify any fractional answers.

(a) 4 x  7 when x  5 (b) 25  n for n  12

Exercise #4: The amount of money, in dollars, a tour company earns on a tour can be calculated using the
expression 12  n  4  , where n is the number of people who go on the tour. How much money do they make when
14 people go on the tour?
