Algebra variable substitution

Teaching Transcript

🎙️

If 'R' is 3 and 'X' is 5, what does this equation become?

Remember that when we see something like 2 'R' written, it means two times 'R'

So we can substitute our variables. 2 'R' is 2 times 3, and 4 'X' is 4 times 5

Now we multiply and add to solve. The answer is 26

This math skill teaches how to substitute numerical values into an algebraic expression with variables, simplify by performing multiplication, and then solve by carrying out addition.
