Part III:
Substitution
Evaluate each expression.
EXAMPLE:
2
Evaluate 2x – y
if x = 5 and y = ‐3
2
2(5) – (‐3)
*Remember to substitute first
10 – 9
* Follow the order of operations

Part IV:
Algebraic Equations
Solve each equation below.
EXAMPLE:
Proportions:
Evaluate:
3x – 6 = 5x + 12
Evaluate:
x – 2 = 6
+ 6 + 6
3 9
3x = 5x + 18
‐5x ‐5x
When solving
9(x – 2) = 6(3)
‐2x = 18
