Evaluating the expression.
It is called evaluating the equation.
That is sometimes known as EVALUATING the expression.
Because you are substituting a number for a variable. Like substituting salt for sugar in a cake recipe. Although you really shouldn't do the latter.
The number is called the coefficient of the variable
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
a variable expression
In an algebraic expression, the number that is multiplied by a variable is called a "coefficient." For example, in the expression (3x), the number 3 is the coefficient of the variable (x). Coefficients can be positive or negative and can also be fractions or decimals.
The number that multiplies a variable in an algebraic expression is called a coefficient. It is the numerical factor that is multiplied by the variable to form a term in the expression.
To evaluate an expression, you substitute the variable with a specified number. This process involves replacing the variable in the expression with its given value and then performing the necessary arithmetic operations to simplify the expression. For example, if you have the expression (2x + 3) and you substitute (x) with (4), you would calculate (2(4) + 3) to get (11).
