6. EXAMPLE 3 Translating Verbal Phrases Verbal Phrase Variable Expression The sum of a number and 9 The difference of a number and 21 The product of 6 and a number The quotient of 48 and a number One third of a number n + 9 n – 21 6 n 48 n 3 1 n
7. GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 2 and 3 Write the phrase as a variable expression using x . 8. a number increased by 15 9. 8 times a number x + 15 8 x Verbal Phrase Variable Expression
8. GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 2 and 3 Evaluate the expression when a = 12 and b = 3 . 4. 9 a 5 . ab Substitute 12 for a = 9(12) = 108 Substitute 12 for a and 3 for b = (12)(3) = 36 Multiply. Multiply.
9. EXAMPLE 2 Evaluating Variable Expressions Evaluate the expression when x = 8 and y = 2 . a. 3 x – 5 y Substitute 8 for x and 2 for y . Multiply. Subtract. Substitute 8 for x and 2 for y . Add. b. 5( x + y ) Multiply. 3( 8 ) – 5( 2 ) = 24 – 10 = 14 = 5( 8 + 2 ) = 50 = = 5(10)
10. GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 2 and 3 Evaluate the expression when a = 12 and b = 3 . 6. b ( a – 6) = 3(12 – 6) Substitute 12 for a and 3 for b = 3(6) Subtract. Multiply. = 18
11. GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 2 and 3 Evaluate the expression when a = 12 and b = 3 . Substitute 12 for a and 3 for b Multiply. Subtract. = 8 Divide. 7. 6 a a – b 6(12) 12 – 3 = 72 12 – 3 = 9 72 =
