How Do You Write An Algebra Expression?
An algebraic expression is any combination of variables and constants with mathematical operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, roots and powers). Writing algebraic expressions is a process of determining and combining constants, variables, and math convention using the order of operations. The following shows how to write algebraic expressions, with an example in parentheses. Write down what the algebraic expression is to show. (A toy line has toys of 3 different sizes and each with a different price. Small costs $5, medium costs $10, and large costs $15. Write as an algebraic expression.) Determine the constant(s). (5, 10, 15 for price of each size toy.) Determine the variable(s). (x, y, z for the quantity of each size toy.) Determine the operations that need to be done. (Multiply each price by the quantity and find the sum total of all 3 sizes.) Combine the constants, variables, and operations using the conventions of the order of operations. This is the algebra
