Substitution
The replacement set is a set of numbers chosen for a particular situation.
Each time a variable is replaced by a number from the replacement set, the
algebraic expression becomes a numerical value.
E.g.: What is value of 3x2 + 2x – 5 if Є {2, 4}
If x = 2 then 3x2 + 2x – 5 becomes: If x = 4 then 3x2 + 2x – 5 becomes:

3(2)2 + 2(2) – 5 3(4)2 + 2(4) – 5
3 •4 + 2 • 2 – 5 3 • 16 + 2 • 4 – 5
12 + 4 – 5 48 + 8 – 5
11 ← numerical value → 51
The steps to calculate the numerical value of an algebraic expression are:

1. Write the algebraic expression;
2. Replace each variable with the selected value;
3. Calculate according to the order of operations;
4. Write your calculations vertically, with only one operation per line.
 Find the values of 4x + 5 if the replacement set of x is {0, 2, 4}
If x=0 then 4x + 5 becomes: If x=2 then 4x + 5 becomes: If x = 4 then 4x + 5 becomes:

4(0) + 5 4(2) + 5 4(4) + 5
=4+5 =8+5 = 16 + 5
=9 = 12 = 21
 Find the value of each algebraic expression given the following replacement
sets.

–
(c) 2(x – 1) given Є { 5, 0, 5, 10} (d) (2x + 1) (x – 5) given Є {–3, –1, 0, 1, 3}

 If a = 2 and b =–3, calculate the numerical value of each algebraic

expression.
(a) 2a – 3b (b) (a + b) (a – b) (c) 3a2 + 2ab – 1

Unit 3: PROPORTIONS
Fractions, decimals & percents are ways we compare numbers.

 Fractions compare the number of parts to the whole

o Joe ate of the pizza

 Decimals compare tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc. depending on the number

of decimal places
o Mackenzie ran 100 m in 10.149 seconds
 Percents compare the number of parts out of 100

o Steph scored 96% on her math test
Fraction to Decimal

Decimal to Fractions
0.45 = 45 *The denominator is determined by the place

Fraction to Percent
Set up a proportion where x is the number out of 100
13 = x
20 100 OR 13  20 = 0.65 • 100 = 65%
x = 13 • 100/20 = 65%

Always write the percent over 100, then reduce if possible
88% = ? 88 = 44 = 22

degrees.
Right Angles: A right angle is an angle Complementary Angles: Two

measuring 90 degrees. Two lines or line angles are called complementary
segments that meet at a right angle are said to angles if the sum of their degree
be perpendicular. Note that any two right
angles are supplementary angles (a right

Parallel & INTERSECTING LINES & ANGLES
Lines AB and CD are parallel to one another (the » on the lines means parallel).
Angles a and d are vertically opposite angles. Vertically opposite angles are equal. (b and c, e
and h, f and g are also vertically opposite).
Angles g and c are corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are equal. (h and d, f and b, e
and a are also corresponding).
Angles d and e are alternate angles. Alternate angles are equal. (c and f are also alternate).
Alternate angles form a 'Z' shape and are sometimes called 'Z angles'.
a and b are adjacent angles. Adjacent angles add up to 180 degrees. (d and c, c and a, d and b, f
and e, e and g, h and g, h and f are also adjacent).
