    Expressions Using Substitution



    Notes
    Evaluating Expressions Using Substitution
    If we are given a value for our variables, we can
    replace the variables with that value to find the value
    (evaluate) of the expression.

    Example: Find the value of 3x + 4 when x = 5


    3x + 4
    3(5) + 4
    15 + 4
    19
    Checklist for Substituting Values into Expressions:

    1. Re-write the expression, replacing the variable with
    the given value for the variable inside parentheses
    2. Using PEMDAS, evaluate the expression
    3. Simplify until there is only one number left

    Ex: Find the value of 7n 12 when n = 3

    7(3) 12 Re-write the expression, replacing the variable
    with the given value
    21 12 Using PEMDAS, evaluate the expression

    9 Simplify until there is only one number left
    Evaluating Expressions Using Substitution

    Find the value of 7(6x 10) when x = 2

    7(6x 10)
    7(6(2) 10)
    7(12 10)
    7(2)
    14
    The value of the expression when x = 2 is 14.
    Using substitution where x = 2, determine which
    expression is not equivalent to 24x 15?
    a. 6(4x - 3) + 3 6(4(2) 3) + 3 = 33
    b. 3(5 + 8x) 3(5 + 8(2)) = 63
    c. -2(-12x + 7) 1 -2(-12(2) + 7) 1 = 33

    x = 2
    24x 15
    24(2) 15
    48 15 = 33

    B is not equivalent to the original expression
    Substituting with Expressions
    You can determine if expressions are equivalent by
    substituting values in for the variables
    If the value of the expressions are the same, they are
    equivalent
    If the value of the expressions are different, they are not
    equivalent
    Is 2(x + 4) equivalent to (8x + 12)?
    Substitute x = 2
    2((2) + 4) = 2(6) = 12
    (8(2) + 12)= (28) = 7

    They are not equivalent
    Challenge
    Using substitution, determine which expression(s) are
    not equivalent to -6x +12y:
    a. -6(x 2y) -6(2 6) = 24
    b. -3(2x 4y) -3(4 12) = 24
    c. 2(-3x + 6y) 2(-6 + 18) = 24
    d. (-12x + 24y) (-24 + 72) = 24
    e. -6(x + 2y) -6(2 + 6) = -48

    You can determine if expressions are equivalent by
    substituting values in for the variables
    x = 2, y = 3
    -6(2) +12(3) = -12 + 36 = 24
