Use substitution to evaluate an algebraic expression. Replace the

variable with a number. Evaluate the expression 3a + 4 when a = 2.
3a + 4
= 3(2) + 4 ←Substitute 2 for a.
=6+4 ← Multiply.
= 10 ← Add.

1. Evaluate the expression m2 - 2n + 23 p when m = 4, n = 2, and p = 6.

m2 - 2n + 23 p

=( )2 - 2( ) + 23( ) ← Substitute the values

for each variable.
= - 2( ) + 23( ) ← Evaluate the power.

= - + 23( ) ← Multiply.

= - + ← Multiply.

= + ← Subtract.

= ← Add.

2. Evaluate 13.2a for a = 7.1.

3. Use the order of operations to evaluate the expression

6y 2 + 3y - 14 for y = 18.

The value of the expression is .

1,584 + 144x
4. Evaluate the expression 4 for x = 16.

The value of the expression is .

5. The formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is A 8 cm B
P = 2/ + 2w, where / is the length and w is the width
of the rectangle. Use the formula to find the perimeter 4 cm

of rectangle ABDC.
