3x + 4y = 9 is an equation, a statement that states the two expressions 3x + 4y and 9 are equal. We like to know if there are any values of the variables x and y that will make the statement a true one.
In our case, we're going to check if x = 2 and y = 5, will satisfy the given equation. In other words, if we substitute the corresponding values of x and y into the equation and the left side will equal to the right side, then (2, 5) is a solution. Otherwise, it's not.
Check:
3x + 4y = 9; x = 2 and y = 5
3(2) + 4(5) =? 9
6 + 20 =? 9
26 = 9 False
Therefore, (2, 5) is not a solution.

"3x + 2y - x + 2y" is an expression that is often part of an equation; possibly a linear equation, though it could be of higher order as there could be squares, cubes etc. To be definite there would be an equals sign (=) and an expression, usually a number, the other side of it.
3x actually means 3 * x.So we are going to follow BODMAS rule... 3x-5-10 =3*4-5-10 =12-5-10 =7-10 =-3 Here's your answer..
The equivalent expression of 3x-9 plus 3x plus 5 is negative 4.
3x+12 = 18 3x = 18-12 3x = 6 x = 2
explain how to evaluate an algebraic expression for given variables. how would we evaluate the expression "3x-4y+9" when x=2and y=5?
Given a value of x, find the value for -3x + 2
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.

We can certainly simplify that term. 6x - 3x = 3x. And -4y + y = -3y. So the simplified expression is 3x-3y. You could also call this 3(x-y). That's as far as we can go, since we have no way to evaluate x or y without further information.
