Say you have an algebraic expression y = 3x +4 For a given value of x = 5 substitute that number in place of x in the expression, so in this case y = 3(5) + 4 = 19
It is called evaluating the equation.
When a given set of values for the variables are substituted in the expression the result is the value of the expression.
It means you replace each instance of the given variable with the given value. For instance, you have the following equation: A(A+2A)= B Then someone says to "substitute the value '4' for each instance of 'A'. You'd just replace them, and get: 4 ( 4 + 2(4)) = B
To evaluate an algebraic expression means to simplify the expression as much as possible by replacing the variables in an expression with the numerical values given to you.Ex:Example of Evaluating an Algebraic ExpressionTo evaluate the algebraic expression '4.5 + x' for x = 3.2, we need to replace x with 3.2 and then add. 4.5 + x = 4.5 + 3.2=7.7Solved Example on Evaluating an Algebraic ExpressionEvaluate the algebraic expression p + 3q + 2p - 3q, for p = 2 and q = - 5.Choices:A. 12B. 18C. 3D. 6Correct Answer: DSolution:Step 1: p + 3q + 2p - 3q [Original expression.]Step 2: = (p + 2p) + (3q - 3q) [Group the like terms together.]Step 3: = 3p [Solve within the grouping symbols.]Step 4: = 3 x 2 [Substitute 2 for p.]Step 5: = 6 [Multiply.]

A variable
The answer to the question is given in the question!If you want to find the value of an algebraic expression, then you need to substitute numerical values for each of the variables in the expression, and then calculate and simplify the result.
You have to substitute a value for the letter variable in the expression. This is what we call evaluating the algebraic expression. An example would be 3x+1=7, when x=2.
In the given algebraic expression of 10g-38 g is the unknown variable
It is called evaluating the equation.
The answer is given below:
When a given set of values for the variables are substituted in the expression the result is the value of the expression.
Take 3 and substitute into the expression given to you but not mentioned in the question here and evaluate the expression. "Sub and Solve" I say.
It means you replace each instance of the given variable with the given value. For instance, you have the following equation: A(A+2A)= B Then someone says to "substitute the value '4' for each instance of 'A'. You'd just replace them, and get: 4 ( 4 + 2(4)) = B
It is an algebraic factor.
That will depend entirely on the algebraic expression which has not been given.
