Card 1Introduction to Letter-Numbers

What are letter-numbers?

Answer

Letter-numbers are letters (like a, b, x, y) that are used to represent numbers in mathematical expressions. For example, if 'a' represents Aftab's age, then 'a' is a letter-number.

Card 2Introduction to Letter-Numbers

What is an algebraic expression?

Answer

An algebraic expression is a mathematical expression that contains letter-numbers along with numbers and operations. Examples: a + 3, 2x - 5, 3m + 7. These expressions can represent relationships and

Card 3Writing Expressions

If Shabnam is 3 years older than Aftab, and Aftab's age is represented by 'a', write an expression for Shabnam's age.

Answer

Shabnam's age = a + 3 Since Shabnam is 3 years MORE than Aftab, we add 3 to Aftab's age (a).

Card 4Writing Expressions

If Shabnam's age is 's' and she is 3 years older than Aftab, write an expression for Aftab's age.

Answer

Aftab's age = s - 3 Since Aftab is 3 years YOUNGER than Shabnam, we subtract 3 from Shabnam's age (s).

Card 5Evaluating Expressions

Find the value of the expression a + 3 when a = 23.

Answer

a + 3 = 23 + 3 = 26 We substitute the value of a (which is 23) into the expression and then calculate.

Card 6Multiplication in Algebra

How do we write 4 × n in algebraic form?

Answer

4 × n is written as 4n In algebra, we omit the multiplication sign (×) and write the number first, followed by the letter-number. So 4 × n becomes 4n.

Card 7Evaluating Expressions

Find the value of 7k when k = 4.

Answer

7k = 7 × 4 = 28 7k means 7 × k, so when k = 4, we get 7 × 4 = 28.

Card 8Evaluating Expressions

Find the value of 5m + 3 when m = 2.

Answer

5m + 3 = 5 × 2 + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13 First substitute m = 2, then calculate 5 × 2 = 10, and finally add 3.
