Title: Determine the value of an expression by substituting the values

Grade: 6-b Lesson: S4-L5

Explanation: Hello Students, time to practice and review the steps for the problem.

Lesson Steps

Steps	Problem	Solution
1	Determine the value of an expression by substituting the value p = 2	\$4 + p/p^3 \$
2	Now substitute "p" value in the expression	\$ 4 + 2/2^3 \$
3	After simplification we get	\$ 4 + \cancel2^1/\cancel8^4 \$
4	After cancellation we get	\$ 4 + 1/4 \$
5	Taking LCM as 4	\$ (16 + 1)/4 \$
6	After simplification we get	\$ 17/4 \$
7	Answer	D = \$ 17/4 \$

Steps

Problem

Solution

Determine the value of an expression by substituting the value
p = 2

\$4 + p/p^3 \$

Now substitute "p" value in the expression

\$ 4 + 2/2^3 \$

After simplification we get

\$ 4 + \cancel2^1/\cancel8^4 \$

After cancellation we get

\$ 4 + 1/4 \$

Taking LCM as 4

\$ (16 + 1)/4 \$

After simplification we get

\$ 17/4 \$

Answer

D = \$ 17/4 \$
