Evaluating One-Variable Expressions

Replace each variable with its given value, then use the order of operations. For word problems, write an expression before finding its value.

Substitute and Evaluate

Show your steps as you replace the variable and simplify.

1.Find the value of 4x + 6 when x = 5.
2.Find the value of 3y − 8 when y = 11.
3.Evaluate 7n + 2 for n = 4.
4.Evaluate 5a − 9 for a = 6.
5.Find the value of 32 − 3m when m = 7.

Expressions in Context

Write an expression for each situation, then evaluate it using the stated value.

6.Aaliyah has r beads in each of 4 small bags and 6 extra beads. Write an expression for the total number of beads. Then find the total when r = 9.
7.A skating rink charges $8 per admission plus a one-time $5 equipment fee. Write an expression for the cost of t admissions and evaluate it for t = 3.
