1 -4 Simplifying Algebraic Expressions There are three different ways in which a basketball player can score points during a game. There are 1 -point free throws, 2 -point field goals, and 3 -point field goals. An algebraic expression can represent the total points scored during a game. Holt Algebra 2

1 -4 Simplifying Algebraic Expressions To translate a real-world situation into an algebraic expression, you must first determine the action being described. Then choose the operation that is indicated by the type of action and the context clues. Action Combine equal groups Separate into equal groups Holt Algebra 2 Operation Add Possible Context Clues How many total? Multiply How many altogether? Subtract How many more? How many remaining? Divide How many in each group?

1 -4 Simplifying Algebraic Expressions To evaluate an algebraic expression, substitute a number for each variable and simplify by using the order of operations. One way to remember the order of operations is by using the mnemonic PEMDAS. Order of Operations 1. 2. 3. 4. Parentheses and grouping symbols. Exponents. Multiply and Divide from left to right. Add and Subtract from left to right. Holt Algebra 2

1 -4 Simplifying Algebraic Expressions Recall that the terms of an algebraic expression are separated by addition or subtraction symbols. Like terms have the same variables raised to the same exponents. Constant terms are like terms that always have the same value. Holt Algebra 2

1 -4 Simplifying Algebraic Expressions To simplify an algebraic expression, combine like terms by adding or subtracting their coefficients. Algebraic expressions are equivalent if they contain exactly the same terms when simplified. Remember! Terms that are written without a coefficient have an understood coefficient of 1. x 2 = 1 x 2 Holt Algebra 2
