EXPRESSIONS #1
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(11) 42 – 8 - 3
