Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Step 1: Start with the given algebraic expression: 7 + 5x.
Step 2: Substitute the given value of x (x = 10) into the expression. This means replacing 'x' with '10' in the expression.
Step 3: Rewrite the expression after substitution: 7 + 5(10).
Step 4: Simplify the multiplication first, as per the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS). Multiply 5 by 10.
Step 5: Add the result of the multiplication to 7 to complete the evaluation of the expression.

Algebraic Expressions

An algebraic expression is a mathematical phrase that can include numbers, variables, and operation symbols. It represents a value that can change depending on the values assigned to its variables. For example, in the expression 7 + 5x, '7' is a constant, '5' is a coefficient, and 'x' is a variable.

Substitution

Substitution is the process of replacing a variable in an expression with a specific value. This is a fundamental technique in algebra that allows us to evaluate expressions. In the given expression 7 + 5x, substituting x with 10 means replacing 'x' with '10' to compute the value of the expression.
