Algebraic Expressions: Operations Guide

(1) To multiply algebraic expressions, multiply the coefficients and variables separately, like 4(5x-3) = 20x - 12. (2) To divide algebraic expressions, divide the coefficients and variables separately, like (8x - 12) ÷ 4 = 2x - 3. (3) To add or subtract algebraic expressions, combine like terms, like (5pq + 8r) + (2pq - 4pr) = 7pq + 4r.

Chapter 3 Algebraic Expressions II

To perform computations : (a) Multiplying and dividing algebraic expressions For examples : (i) 4(5x-3) = 20x 12 (ii) (8x 12) 4 =
8 x 12 4

=
(b)

2x 3

Adding and subtraction two algebraic expressions For example : (i) (5pq + 8r) + (2pq 4pr) = 7pq + 4r (ii) (5x + 3qr) (x 2qr) = 5x + 3qr - x + 2qr = 4x + 5qr Simplifying algebraic expressions For example : -7(4x 5xy) + 2(2x + 3) = -28x + 35xy + 4x + 6 = 35xy 24x + 6
