1) Identify the algebraic expressions among the following:
a) 2x + y
b) 3
c) x = 2
d) 2 x − 5
Solution:
Among the given options, the ones with “=” symbol are
equations. The rest are expressions.
So the algebraic expressions are a), b) and d).
2) Convert the following phrases into expressions:
a) One-fourth of the sum of x and 2 times y
b) The number m multiplied by itself.
c) Product of the numbers x and y is subtracted from 10.
Solution:
1
( x + 2 y)
a) 4
b) m m = m
2
c) 10 − xy
3) Benjamin had some boxes of apples, each with 8 apples. If he
gave away 10 apples to his friend then write an algebraic
expression for the number of apples he currently have with him.
Assume the number of boxes to be x .
Solution:
The number of boxes = x .
So the total number of apples = 8x .
Since he gave away 10 apples, the current number of apples =
8 x −10 .
4) Classify the following as monomials, binomials, and trinomials.
a) x + 3 y − z WWW.CUEMATH.COM
b) x y + 3 x − 2
2
x
−6
c) 2
Solution:
The algebraic expressions are called monomials if they have
one term, binomials if they have two terms, and trinomials if they
have three terms. Hence:
a) x + 3 y − z is a trinomial.
b) x y + 3 x − 2 is a trinomial.
2
x
−6
c) 2 is a binomial.
5) Simplified form of 2( x + 4) + 3( x − 5) − 2 y = ____.
Solution:
We distribute 2 and 3 and combine the like terms.
2( x + 4) + 3( x − 5) − 2 y
= 2 x + 8 + 3 x − 15 − 2 y
= (2 x + 3 x ) − 2 y + (8 − 15)
= 5x − 2 y − 7
Solution:

We will add all the sides and simplify it by combining like terms.
( ) (
Perimeter = 4 x 2 − x + 3 + x 2 − 3 + (3 x + 2))
= (4x 2
)
+ x 2 + ( − x + 3 x ) + (3 − 3 + 2)
= 5 x2 + 2 x + 2
So the perimeter of the triangle = 5 x + 2 x + 2 units.
2
Solution:
We will just substitute x = 3 in the given algebraic expression to
find the required area
3 x3 − 5 x + 7
= 3(3)3 − 5(3) + 7
= 3(27) − 15 + 7
= 81 − 15 + 7
= 73
So the required area = 73 square units.
8) The distance from Emma’s house to her school is
(3 x 3 + 2 x 2 y + 2) units and the distance from her school to park is
( −2 x 3 + 5 xy − 7) . Then find the distance from her house to the
park.
Solution:
We will add the given two distances to get the total distance.
( ) (
3 x3 + 2 x 2 y + 2 + −2 x3 + 5 xy − 1 )
( )
= 3 x3 − 2 x3 + 2 x 2 y + 5 xy + (2 − 1)
= x3 + 2 x 2 y + 5 xy − 5
So the total distance from Emma’s home to the park =
x3 + 2 x 2 y + 5 xy − 5 units.

9) Add the following algebraic expressions:
12 x − 10 y + 5 xy + 23,17 + 5 x − 10 y − 8 xy, and − 8 xy
Solution:
(12 x − 10 y + 5 xy + 23) + (17 + 5 x − 10 y − 8 xy ) + ( −8 xy )
= (12 x + 5 x ) + ( −10 y − 10 y ) + (5 xy − 8 xy − 8 xy ) + (23 + 17)
= 17 x − 20 y − 11xy + 40 10)
10) The length of a rectangle is 5 units more than half of its
width. Then
a) What is its length as an algebraic expression?
b) Find an expression for its area.
Assume its width to be w .
Solution:
1
l = w+5
a) The length of the rectangle is, 2 units.
b) The area of the rectangle is,
Area = Length Width
1
= w + 5 w
2
1
= w2 + 5 w
2
1 2
w + 5w
So the area = 2 square units.
