OMG! Algebra is easy. First, an “expression” is just a number sentence.
For example, if you wanted to buy the Wii games and you didn’t know how
much these games cost you could show this “number expression” by
writing
3 x _________ . The blank is there because it’s what you don’t know, the
cost of each game. With algebra, instead of a blank you put a letter. It
could be any letter X, Z, G… Usually the letter is the first letter of the thing
you talking about. So to write an algebraic expression you would write:
3 x C.
3 because you want 3 games and C because you don’t know the Cost of
each game.
Mrs. Sweetland gives 3 bonus points for each extra-credit
problem correctly completed. If b stands for the number of
extra-credit problems correctly completed, which
expression is equal to the total number of bonus points?
• a. b x 3
• c.
b. b + 3
b ÷ 3 d. b - 3
• e. 3 > b

You know how to find the sum of the angles of a polygon. The
sum of the angles for a triangle (3 sides) is 180. The sum of the
angles of a quadrilateral (4 sides) is 360. The sum of the angles
of a pentagon (5 sides) is 540. If “S” is the amount of sides,
which expression can be used to illustrate this way of finding the
sum of the angles of any polygon.

First you have to add the numbers that you
already have to each other.
Then you have to
