Understanding Expressions with Variables

The video tutorial explains how to evaluate the expression 0 + y + -7 for different values of y: -3, 0, and 7. It demonstrates the process using number lines and absolute values, showing that when y is -3, the result is -10; when y is 0, the result is -7; and when y is 7, the result is 0. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the movement on a number line and the concept of adding negative numbers.

What is the expression we are evaluating in this problem?

• 0 + y + 7

• y + 7

• 0 + y - 7

• y - 7
