Simplifying and Evaluating Algebraic Expressions - Day 2

Today we continued our lessons on Simplifying and Evaluating Algebraic Expressions.

This is lesson 11-1 and 11-2 in the Holt Textbook.

We have also reviewed inverse operations and computing decimals.

8x + 6 + 3x – 2 = 37

11x + 4 = 37   Combine like terms.

                     – 4   – 4   Subtract 4 from both sides.

                    11x = 33  Divide both sides by 11.

            x = 3
