Algebraic
expression- expression built up
from numbers and symbols .
Is the following an example of an algebraic
expression?
2x-1
Variable
A
letter or symbol that is used to represent
an unknown number
Identify the variable in the following
algebraic expression.
5-2a
Term
A
number, variable, product, or quotient
in an expression separated by operational
symbols.
Ex:
There are two terms in the algebraic
expression
3n + 5
Coefficient
A
number in a term with a variable or
simply a number in front of a variable.
Identify the coefficient in the following
algebraic expression.
4x+5

Convert the following into an
algebraic expression?
Convert the following into an algebraic
expression?
(first identify operations (key terms) : less than, plus, the
product of, sum, more than…….)
Three plus A
3
Answer: 3+A

A
Convert
the following into an algebraic
expression?
six decreased by Y (also 6 minus y)
6
Answer: 6-y
-
y
Let’s Try Another One
Convert the following into an algebraic
expression?
Six less than Y
6
Y
Actually…
6-y is incorrect! The phrase states “six less
than y” meaning six “taken away from” y,
therefore the correct algebraic expression
is…….
Y-6
