                               EVALUATING ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSION




                                                                   Just substitute the
                                                                   given value of the
                                     Evaluating algebraic          variables to the
                                     expression is just like       expression then
                                     finding the value or          perform the rules in
                                     the number equivalent         adding, subtracting,
                                     to the given                  multiplying and
                                     expression.                   dividing integers.



        Let’s Practice                                                      REMEMBER!!
