 An Algebraic expression is an expression
that you will see most often once you start
Algebra. In Algebra we work with variables and
numerals.

A variable is a symbol, usually a letter, that

represents one or more numbers.
Thus, an algebraic expression consists of
numbers, variables, and operations.
 Expressions
An expression is NOT EQUATION
because it DOES NOT have an equal sign.
There are 2 types of expressions.

5 + 84 Numerical
3x + 10 Algebraic
Notice there are no equal signs in these
expressions so they are not equations!
 A numerical expression
contains only numbers and
symbols and NO LETTERS

5 times 3 plus 8
(5 3) + 8
 An algebraic expression contains
only numbers, symbols, and
variables. It is sometimes referred to
as a variable expression.

The product of 3 and x 3x

The sum of m and 8 m+8

The difference of r and 2 r–2

 The Placement Rule for multiplication
is:
The product of 5 and a number c Always
5 c or 5c write the
Seven times a number t variable
7 t or 7t AFTER
6 multiplied by a number d the
6 d or 6d number.
 Evaluate means to find the
value of an algebraic expression
by substituting numbers in for
variables.
Example: m=2
6+m
