EVALUATING EXPRESSIONS #2

 

 

Directions:  Evaluate the expressions below when x = -4 and y = 7.  That means you should substitute a -4 in place of any x’s in the expression and substitute a 7 in place of any y’s.  After that, follow the standard order of operations to find the value of the expression.  Write that value in the space provided. 

 

Examples:        x + 2y                                      3(x + y)                       6y + 2x + 3                             

                       -4 + 2(7)                                   3 (-4 + 7)                  6(7) + 2(-4) + 3                                                                          -4 + 14                                     3(3)                             42 + (-8) + 3

3)     5x + 3 =             ________                                                         4)     2y - 8 =            ________            

 

 

 

 

 

 

5)     2x + 2y =           ________                                                         6)     4(x+y) =           ________

 

 

 

 

 

 

7)     -y + 2 =                ________                                                       8)     2y + 2x =         ________                      

 

 

 

 

 

 

9)     2x + 4x + 11 =   ________                                                       10)     40 – 3y + -x =    ________
