Algebraic Expressions

Master algebraic expressions! Write, match, and solve with our easy guide.

Write your name in the space provided below. Name: Watch the following video about writing algebraic expressions. Match the written expression to its algebraic expression. *Remember- when a number is next to a variable the operation is multiplicationFor example: 5n means ..... 5 times n*Remember- the / means division 7 minus n 7-n p divided by 7 p 3 is added to p 3+p 5 times q 5q Take away 6 from g g-6 9 less than b b-9 Sum of n and 5 n+5 5 is subtracted from y y-5 6 divided by q 6 Sum of 4 and p 4+p Choose the algebraic equation that matches the word problem. Mike had 23 dollars. He then washed more cars over the weekend. 23 + x There were 16 bales of hay in the barn. Keith stacked more bales in the barn today. 16 + x Sally is baking a cake. The recipe calls for 9 cups of flour but she already put in some cups of flour. 9 - x Chris is paying for a pie and already paid 8 dollars for it. x - 8 Cindy has 150 dollars that she is going to share equally with some friends 150 / f Write an algebraic expression for the situation below. Mike found 44 seashells on the beach. Sally found some more and combined them to Mike's collection to seashells. Use your algebraic expression from above to solve the expression below. Later on, Sally counted that she found 25 seashells. How many seashells are in Mike's collection now? Write an algebraic expression for the situation below. John is finding the area of a rectangle.
