    3 Algebraic Expressions
    Modeling words with an Algebraic Expression:
    Example 1: Multiple Choice
    Which algebraic expression models the phrase "seven fewer than a number t"?

    A) -7t B) 7 - t C) t - 7 D) 7 + t

    Example 2: Multiple Choice


    Which algebraic expression models the phrase "two times the sum of a and b"?

    F) a + b G) 2a + b H) 2(a + b) I) a + 2b

    Modeling a Situation:
    Example 3: You start with $20 and save $6 each week. What algebraic expression
    models the total amount you save?

    Example 4: You had $150, but you are spending $2 each day. What algebraic
    expression models this situation?

    Evaluating Algebraic Expressions:
    Example 5: What is the value of the expression for the given values of the variables?

    a. 7(a + 4) + 3b - 8 for a = -4 and b = 5

    Writing and Evaluating Algebraic Expressions:

    Example 6:In football, a touchdown (TD) is worth six points, and


    extra-point kick (EPK) one point, and a field goal (FG) three
    points.
    a. What algebraic expression models the total number of points
    that a football team scores in a game, assuming each scoring play
    is one of the three given types?
    Let t = the number of touchdowns
    Let k = the number of extra-point kicks
    Let f = the number of field goals

    b. Suppose a football team scores 3 touchdowns, 2 extra-point


    kicks, and 4 field goals. How many points did the team score?

    Example 7: In basketball, teams can score by making two-point
    shots, three-point shots, and one-point free throws.
    a. What algebraic expression models the total number of points
    that a basketball team scores in a game, assuming each scoring
    play is one of the three given types?
    Let x = the number of two-point shots
    Let y = the number of three-point shots
    Let z = the number of free throws

    b. If a team makes 10 two-point shots, 5 three-point shots, and


    7 free throws, how many points do they score in all?
