Vocabularyevaluate to find the
value of an algebraic
expression
Prerequisite: Write and Evaluate Expressions with Variables
Study the example showing how to write and evaluate expressions with variables. Then solve problems 1–7.
1 What does 4r 1 6 represent in the expression?
2 Does the expression (4r 1 6) ·· 2 also represent the
number of females on the team this year? Explain
3 If there were only 9 runners on the team last year, how many female runners are on the team this year? Explain how you found the answer
Example
The number of runners on a marathon team this year is 6 more than 4 times the number of runners on last year’s team Half of the runners this year are female and half are male What expression represents the number of female runners on the team this year?
You can draw a model to represent the situation
Last year’srunners
r 6
This year’s runners
Female
Malerr rr 1
The model shows that the number of female runners can
be represented by the expression 1 ·· 2 (4r 1 6)

the number of runners on the marathon team this year
Yes; Dividing by 2 is the same as multiplying by 1 ·· 2 .
21; Possible explanation: Evaluate the
expression 1 ·· 2 (4r 1 6) for r 5 9; 1 ·· 2 (4r 1 6) 5

Solve.
Use the situation below to solve problems 4–6.
The temperature increased 12°F between 9 AM and noon It decreased 9°F between noon and 6 PM
4 Write an expression with three terms to show the change in temperature Let the fi rst term represent the temperature at 9 AM
5 If the temperature was 45°F at 9 AM, what was the temperature at 6 PM?
6 Suppose the temperature at 6 PM was 30°F What would the temperature have been at 9 AM? Explain how you can use the expression you wrote in problem 4 to fi nd the answer
7 Jill makes purses and backpacks To make each purse,
she uses 1 foot less than 1 ·· 2 the amount of fabric she
uses to make a backpack Write an expression for the
amount of fabric that Jill needs to make a purse If she
uses 6 feet of fabric to make a backpack, how many
feet of fabric will she use to make a purse?
Show your work.
Solution:
184
t 1 12 2 9
48°F
27°F; Possible explanation: I can guess and check by trying different numbers for t in
the expression until I find the number that gives a solution of 30.
Let f be the amount of fabric that Jill needs to make a backpack.
f ·· 2 2 1; f ·· 2 2 1 5 6 ·· 2 2 1 5 3 2 1 5 2
Jill uses 2 feet of fabric to make a purse.

Properties of Operations
Study the example showing how to use properties of operations to write equivalent expressions with variables. Then solve problems 1–9.
1 What does b represent in the expressions?
2 What does 2b 1 5b represent?
3 Does the expression 2b 1 5b have like terms? Explain
4 What is the common factor of each term in the expression 2b 1 5b?
5 Explain how to use the distributive property to create an expression that is equivalent to 2b 1 5b
Example
Sam bought 2 granola bars and Hayley bought 5 granola bars Each granola bar was the same price
Write an expression for the total price of the granola bars Then simplify the expression to create an equivalent expression Use the model to help you

the unknown price of 1 granola bar
The sum of the prices of Sam’s granola bars and Hayley’s granola bars.
Yes; 2b and 5b are like terms because they have the same variable as a factor.
Possible explanation: Factor out the common factor, b: 2b 1 5b 5 b(2 1 5) 5 7b

Solve.
Use the situation below to solve problems 6–7.
Larry bought 12 containers of pasta salad for a school picnic Each container held the same number of ounces of salad Students finished the pasta salad in 8 of the containers
6 Let p equal the number of ounces of pasta salad in one container Write an expression with two terms to represent how many ounces of pasta salad are left
7 Simplify the expression you wrote in problem 6 to create an equivalent expression Use the distributive property
8 A soccer coach bought 16 medium T-shirts and 9 large T-shirts Each T-shirt was the same price Onaje and Paula tried to write equivalent expressions to represent the total price of the T-shirts The expressions they wrote are shown below
Onaje: 16t 1 9t 5 t(16 1 9) 5 25tPaula: 16t 1 9t 5 16 1 9 1 2t 5 25 1 2t
Whose expression is correct? Why is the other expression incorrect?

6 Use the distributive property to fi nd two expressions that are equivalent to 7(3x 2 4)
7 A rectangular play area is 8 yards long The expression 56 1 8x represents the area of the play area in square yards What expression represents the width of the play area in yards? Draw a picture to model the problem
Show your work.
Solution:
8 Use the distributive property to write two expressions that are equivalent to 12 1 30x Describe the steps you follow to fi nd the expressions
9 Are 9(4 2 x) and 36 2 9x equivalent expressions? Explain how you know
188
Possible answer: (7 • 3x) 2 (7 • 4)
21x 2 28
Possible student work:
56 1 8x 5 (8 • 7) 1 (8 • x) 5 8(7 1 x)
The width of the play area is (7 1 x) yards.
Possible answer: (6 • 2) 1 (6 • 5x); 6(2 1 5x)
Factor out the common factor, 6: 12 1 30x 5 (6 • 2) 1 (6 • 5x)
Simplify (6 • 2) 1 (6 • 5x): (6 • 2) 1 (6 • 5x) 5 6(2 1 5x)
Yes; Possible explanation: When you distribute the factor 9 to 4 and x, you get
(9 • 4) 2 (9 • x). When you simplify (9 • 4) 2 (9 • x), you get 36 2 9x.

Properties and Equivalent Expressions
Study the example showing how to use properties of operations to write equivalent expressions with variables. Then solve problems 1–9.
1 Explain how the model shows 4(5 1 x)
2 Simplify the expression in the example
3 What are the factors in the expression 4(5 1 x)?
4 Show how to use the distributive property to simplify 4(5 1 x)
5 Are the expressions (5 1 5 1 5 1 5) 1 (x 1 x 1 x 1 x) and 4(5 1 x) equivalent? If so, write another expression that is equivalent to both of them If not, explain why not
Example
Four students are buying tickets to a play The tickets cost $5 each plus a service fee The expression 4(5 1 x) represents the total cost Write an expression that is equivalent to 4(5 1 x)
You can use math tiles to model 4(5 1 x)
From the math tiles, you can see that the expression 4(5 1 x) 5 (5 1 5 1 5 1 5) 1 (x 1 x 1 x 1 x)

There are four groups of five 1-tiles and one x-tile.
20 1 4x
4 and (5 1 x)
I can multiply 5 and x by 4 in the first expression to get (4 • 5) 1 (4 • x),
which equals 20 1 4x.
Yes, they both simplify to 20 1 4x; another equivalent expression is (4 • 5) 1 (4 • x).

5 Look at the expressions s2 1 2s2 and 3s2
a. Draw math tiles to model s2 1 2s2 and 3s2 Does your model show that they are equivalent expressions? Explain
b. Use substitution to check your answer in part (a)
6 Use the terms 4, 12a, 6, 2a, and 24 to make equivalent expressions Use each term only once Use substitution to prove that the expressions are equivalent

Yes, the expressions are equivalent; both models represent 3s2.
Possible answer: Let s 5 3
s2 1 2s2 5 32 1 2 • 32 5 9 1 2 • 9 5 9 1 18 5 27
3s2 5 3 • 32 5 3 • 9 5 27
27 5 27, so the answer is correct.
6(2a 1 4) 5 12a 1 24
Let a 5 2: 6(2a 1 4) 5 6(2 • 2 1 4) 5 6(4 1 4) 5 6(8) 5 48
12a 1 24 5 12 • 2 1 24 5 24 1 24 5 48; 48 5 48
She did not substitute 2 for the third term, x, in 3x 1 6 1 x.
The expressions 6(2a 1 4) and 12a 1 24 are equivalent.

Determine Whether Expressions Are Equivalent
Study the example problem showing how to determine whether expressions are equivalent. Then solve problems 1–7.
1 Are the terms 2s and 3s2 like terms? Explain
2 Explain how the tiles show that 2s 1 3s2 is not equivalent to 5s
3 Use substitution to prove that 2s 1 3s2 is not equivalent to 5s
4 Use the distributive property to write an expression that is equivalent to 2s 1 3s2
Example
Is 2s 1 3s2 equivalent to 5s?
Use math tiles to model 2s 1 3s2 and 5s
s s
2s 5s3s2
s s s s ss2 s2 s2
The expression 2s 1 3s2 is not equivalent to 5s
189
No; The variables in like terms must be exactly the same. The variable s in the term 3s2
is squared. The variable s in the term 2s is not.
Possible explanation: There are two s-tiles in both 2s 1 3s2 and 5s, but when you take
those away you are left with 3s2 and 3s, which are not equivalent.
Possible answer: Let s 5 4; 2s 1 3s2 5 2(4) 1 3(42) 5 8 1 3(16) 5 8 1 48 5 56 and
5s 5 5(4) 5 20. Because 56 20, the expressions are not equivalent.
