Grade: 6-a Lesson: S2-L8

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 \$3/4 - 6a + 5/a\$ when a = 4.

Step 1a

Given expression.

Explanation: Given expression \$3/4 - 6a + 5/a\$ is an algebraic expression in variable r and value of a = 4.

Step 1b

Perform operations.

Explanation: Substitute the value of variable a = 4 in the expression.

\$3/4 - 6a + 5/a\$

\$=> 3/4 - 6(4) + 5/(4)\$

Step 1c

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

Explanation: Perform operations among the terms

\$=> 3/4 - 6(4) + 5/(4)\$

\$=> 3/4 - 24 + 5/4 \$

\$=> 3/4 + 5/4 - 24 \$

\$=> (3 + 5)/4 - 24 \$

\$=> 8/4 - 24 \$

\$=> (8 - 96)/4 \$

\$=> - 88/4 \$

Step 1d

Convert the fraction into it’s lowest form.

Explanation: Divide numerator and denominator with 4 (or) do cancellation

\$=> - cancel(88)^22/cancel(4)^1\$

\$=> - 22\$
