LESSON 2: Algebraic Expression

Algebraic Expressions

By Enosha Chapman

When subtracting, identify the switch words like less than or subtracted from.

Example:
7 less than a number = n - 7
7 minus a number is 7 - n

Switch Words

When writing an algebraic expression, identify your operation words and place it in the correct order. Sum, difference, product, and quotient connect variable/numbers. and should be solved first.
