Evaluate Algebraic Expressions: Examples
Examples, videos, worksheets, solutions, and activities to help Algebra 1 or grade 7 students learn how to evaluate algebraic expressions.
We can evaluate an algebraic expression for different values of the variable.
To evaluate 3x + 1 for x = −2, we substitute −2 in place of x
3(−2) + 1 = −6 + 1 = −5
Remember to use order of operations to evaluate and be careful with the minus signs.
