    Symbols Example 1
    What is the value of the expression below when m = 5 and n = 0.5?
    m2 + (n + 6)
    Expression:
    8x + 4y
    Example 2
    Luci bought n ride tickets at the carnival. Bianca bought 4 times as many ride tickets as Luci.
    Write an expression that represents the total number of ride tickets that Luci and Bianca
    Terms:
    bought.
    8x
    4y
    Example 3
    Write an equivalent expression for 9(p + 8).

    Example 4
    Simplify the expression using exponents: 5555555nn + 444

    Key
    Example 1
    m2 + (n + 6); m = 5 and n = 0.5
    Substitute the variable with numerical value
    m2 + (n + 6)
    52 + (0.5 + 6)
    Use orders of operations to solve
    52 + (0.5 + 6)
    52 + 6.5
    25 + 6.5
    31.5

    Example 2
    n + 4n

    Example 3
    9(p + 8)
    Use the distributive property to write an equivalent expression
    9(p) + 9(8)
    9p + 72

    Example 4
