8. What is it
The expressions which are not polynomials are called rational algebraic
when a variable is substituted with a number in a rational expression, it is called
evaluating rational algebraic expressions.
Algebraic expressions can be evaluated by
substituting the given value in each quantity or
variable and performing the indicated operation. With
grouping symbols, operations within the grouping
symbol must be performed first before the other
operations.
9. Example 1. Evaluate the following rational expression.
330
10𝑥
; 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 x = 3
330
10 (2)
Substitute the value of x.

Philippines since 2019.
19. What I need to remember
In evaluating a rational algebraic expression,
make sure that the denominator will not be equal
to zero as it will lead to “undefined”. Recall
the definition of rational algebraic
expressions.
