FORMING EXPRESSSION 

AND STATEMENTS IN ALGEBRA

WHAT IS VARIABLES

EXPRESSION 

In mathematics, an expression or mathematical expression is a finite combination of symbols that is well-formed according to rules that depend on the context.

STATEMENT 

In algebra, a statement is basically sentences which are either true or false. These mathematical statements may consist of words and symbols

what is an unknown quantity called

1. literal
2. constants
3. statements
4. literals or variables

HOW TO FORM STATEMENTS 

FOR EG=x-5

SOLUTION- 5 less than x

FOR EG= 5+z

SOLUTION- 5 more than z

FOR EG= 6x X n

SOLUTION- n subtracted from 6 times x

FOR EG- z- x/y

SOLUTION- The quotient of x  by y subtracted from z

the quotient of z by y subtracted from m

HOW TO FORM EXPRESSION 

FOR EG- 8 MORE THAN z

SOLUTION= 8 + z 

FOR EG-  Less than y

SOLUTION= 2-y

FOR EG- y subtracted from 4timesx

SOLUTION= 4x-y

FOR EG-The quotient of x by y added to y

SOLUTION= y- x/y

                             

write the expression of the following statement- 7x - 6

we can represent any situation or statement using ________

1. exoression
2. number
3. variables
4. variables and constant
