Title: Substitue the variable value using different methods in the expression

Grade: 6-a Lesson: S2-L7

Explanation: The best way to understand algebra is by looking at some examples. Take turns and read each example for easy understanding.

Examples:

1. Determine the value of expression \$(5 + 2r)/r\$ when r = 5.

Step 1a

Given expression.

Explanation: Given expression \$(5 + 2r)/r\$ is an algebraic expression in variable r and value of r = 5.

Step 1b

Perform operations.

Explanation: Substitute the value of variable r = 5 in the expression.

\$(5 + 2r)/r\$

\$=> (5 + 2(5))/(5)\$

Step 1c

substitute the value of variable and determine the value of expression.

Explanation: Perform operations among the terms

\$ (5 + 2(5))/(5)\$

\$=> (5 + 10)/(5)\$

\$=> (15)/(5)\$

Step 1d

Convert the fraction into it’s lowest form.

Explanation: Divide numerator and denominator with 5 (or) do cancellation

\$=> cancel(15)^3/cancel(5)^1\$

\$=> 3/1\$

\$=> 3\$
