Algebraic Expressions
In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.
Numbers
Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.
Subtraction
Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.
Addition
Before we begin to understand the addition of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.

Answer to Problem 1CM

Solution:

The algebraic expression for −5(x−1)−3(2x+4)+3(3x−1) is −6.

Explanation of Solution

Approach:

Replace each variable in the expressions with its value.

Order of operations:

The order is parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition and subtraction.

Calculation:

The given algebraic expression is −5(x−1)−3(2x+4)+3(3x−1)

Substitute x for −2 in the expression −5(x−1)−3(2x+4)+3(3x−1),

−5((−2)−1)−3(2(−2)+4)+3(3(−2)−1)

=−5(−3)−3(2(−2)+4)+3(3(−2)−1)

=−5(−3)−3(−4+4)+3(−6−1)=15−3(0)+3(−7)

Remove the parentheses,

=15−0−21=15−21=−6

Therefore, the algebraic expression for −5(x−1)−3(2x+4)+3(3x−1) is −6.

Final statement:

The algebraic expression for −5(x−1)−3(2x+4)+3(3x−1) is −6.
