* EVALUATING EXPRESSIONS ** OBJECTIVES - Evaluate Expressions - Apply the order of operations in evaluating algebraic expressions ** HOW TO FIND? To find the numerical value of the expression, simply replace the variables in the expression with the appropriate number Remember to use the correct order of operations *** STEPS Take this thing "2x - 3xy + 4y" as our alegebraic expression for the steps :D 1. Evaluate "2x - 3xy + 4y" when x = 3 and y = -5 and substitute them with the said conditions (2(3)) - 3(3(-5)) + 4(-5)) I hope you know how algebraic structures work or else you wont understand this shit 2. Use the correct order of operations (ref. PEMDAS) (2(3)) - 3(3(-5)) + 4(-5)) = 6 + 45 -20 = 51 - 20 = [30] <-- final answer --(.w.--)
