Sure! Below are some algebraic expressions practice problems along with explanations for solving them. You can try solving them and then check your answers.

Practice Problems

  1. Simplify the expression:
    \( 3x + 4x - 5 \)

  2. Evaluate the expression when \( x = 2 \):
    \( 2x^2 + 3x - 4 \)

  3. Factor the expression:
    \( x^2 + 5x + 6 \)

  4. Expand the expression:
    \( (x + 2)(x + 3) \)

  5. Combine like terms:
    \( 7y - 3y + 2y - 5 \)

  6. Solve for \( x \):
    \( 2(x - 3) = 6 \)

  7. Evaluate the expression when \( x = -1 \):
    \( 4x^3 - 2x + 7 \)

  8. Factor the expression:
    \( 3x^2 - 12x \)

Solutions

  1. Simplify the expression:
    \( 3x + 4x - 5 = 7x - 5 \)

  2. Evaluate the expression when \( x = 2 \):
    \( 2(2^2) + 3(2) - 4 = 2(4) + 6 - 4 = 8 + 6 - 4 = 10 \)

  3. Factor the expression:
    \( x^2 + 5x + 6 = (x + 2)(x + 3) \)

  4. Expand the expression:
    \( (x + 2)(x + 3) = x^2 + 3x + 2x + 6 = x^2 + 5x + 6 \)

  5. Combine like terms:
    \( 7y - 3y + 2y - 5 = 6y - 5 \)

  6. Solve for \( x \):
    \( 2(x - 3) = 6 \)
    \( x - 3 = 3 \)
    \( x = 6 \)

  7. Evaluate the expression when \( x = -1 \):
    \( 4(-1)^3 - 2(-1) + 7 = 4(-1) + 2 + 7 = -4 + 2 + 7 = 5 \)

  8. Factor the expression:
    \( 3x^2 - 12x = 3x(x - 4) \)
