What is a variable expression for five subtracted from k?
5-k
What do you call replacing a variable in an expression by a number?
A variable is a letter that represents a number. An expression that contains at least one variable is called variable expression, also called algebraic expression. A variable expression has one or more terms. A term is a number, a variable, or a product of numbers and variables. For example,3(x^2)y + 2xy + x - 7 is a variable expression, where you have 4 terms.When working with variable expression, you often use the substitution principle:If a = b, then a may be replaced by b in any expression.The set of numbers that a variable may be represent is called replacement set, or domain, of the variable. To evaluate a variable expression, you replace each variable with one of its values and simplify the numerical expression that results.Example: Evaluate the expression 2x - 4y for x = 5 and y = -9.Solution:2x - 4y= 2(5) - 4(-9)= 10 + 36=46
What phrase describes the variable expression y - 5?
5 less than y
Which phrase describes the variable expression y-5?
The phrase is "y reduced by 5".
T plus 3-2t equals 4t plus 1?
T+(3-2t)=4t+1. Assuming the two T's , T and t are the same variable, lets proceed. t+(3-2t)=4t+1 3-t=4t+1 2-t=4t 2=5t last step is yours
