To evaluate a variable expression, replace the variable(s) with the given value(s) and use the order of operations to simplify.

Example 1: Evaluate 10y + 3 for y = 6.

10y -f 3 = 10(6) + 3 Replace y with 6 since 6 is the given value.

= 60 + 3 Order of operations says to multiply first.

= 63 Add.

Example 2: Evaluate -6p - 15 for p = -4.

-6p - 15 = -6(-4) - 15 Replace p with -4 since -4 is the given value.

= 24-15 Order of operations says to multiply first.

= 9 Subtract.

Practice on Your Own

Evaluate each expression for the given value of the variable.

1. 7x + 1 for x = 5 2. 8m - 12 for m = 5 3. 2y + 9 for y

= -6

4. 6p - 3 for p = -4

5. 27 - 9x for x = 2

6. 10 + 4q for q = -3

7. -7c + 11 for c = 3

8.1/3t + 5 for t = 9

9. 1/2m - 16 for m = 20
