1 Steps: All work must be shown or no credit will be awarded. Box all answers!! Order of Operations 1. Do operations that occur within grouping symbols. If there is more than one set of symbols, work from the inside out.. Evaluate powers. 3. Multiplication and division from left to right. 4. Addition and subtraction from left to right. Non-Calculator Procedures A. Calculator Keystrokes ( 6) 6 x 4 ^ + (-3) ^ = = = 0 96 = 9 6 = 3 = 30 This is a screen shot of what the screen on a TI-84 Plus calculator would look like. B = = = = ( 4 (-5 3 x (-) ^ )) (-6 x (-3 ) + 5) This is a screen shot of what the screen on a TI-84 Plus calculator would look like. = C (6 ( 1 (8 )) 4 ) = = = = = 9 36 = This is a screen shot of what the screen on a TI-84 Plus calculator would look like.

2 Use the order of operations to simplify each problem. Show all work! ( 4) ( 8) ( 14) Evaluating Expressions Steps: 1. Substitute the given numbers in for the variables.. Simplify using the order of operations. Let x =, y = and z = 3 4 Non-Calculator Procedures Calculator Keystrokes A. x + y + z To start these problems on the calculator, you need to store = 3 4 the values for x, y and z into the calculator. = = 1 1 Storing the Values for the Variables: - STO ALPHA STO ENTER - 3 STO ALPHA 1 ENTER 4 STO ALPHA ENTER After these inital steps, the = 11 1 values will be stored for those variables on your calculator. So, for Example A, type in ALPA STO + ALPHA 1 + ALPHA ENTER To convert the decimal you get to a fraction, press MATH and ENTER twice.

3 Let x =, y = and z = 3 4 B. xy + z Calculator Keystrokes : = ALPHA STO * ALPHA 1 + ALPHA ENTER 3 4 MATH ENTER twice to change to a fraction = = 1 1 = 3 1 C. 16 xz 16 * ALPHA STO * ALPHA = = = = 4 4 = 9 4 = 3 Evaluate each expression. Show all work! Let a = 10, b = 5 1, c = 4 and d = b ad + ab abc. 3abc 4bc + 6ad ac bd Combining Like Terms Like terms are terms that have the same variable which are raised to the same power. Examples include: x 1 and 6x, 4 y and 1y or x and x. When combining like terms, you combine the coefficients which are the numbers in front of the variables and keep the variables the same.

4 5x x 1 1x 8x 4 1 B. x 8x x 5 3 = x 11x 8x 1 5 = x x 8x =14x8x 1 = 8 x x = 6x 1 A. Simplify each expression by combining like terms. Show all work! 4x 5y 3 9x y u t 9t u 11. x y 1 x y 3x y x 4 5 Using the Distributive Property a( b c) ab ac ( b c) a or a( b c) ab ac ( b c) a A. 5(3x ) 5 3x 5 B. 3x x 5y 3x x 3x 5y x 10 3x xy C. 6(x 4) 6 x 6 4 x 3y 5x 5x x 5x 3y D.

Ten less than the difference of three and a number n is less than nine. 3. Six more than the quotient of a number and is 4. Steps: Solving Equations & Inequalities 1. Distribute and rid the problem of all grouping symbols.. Clear any fractions or decimals by multiplying every term by the common denominator. 3. Combine like terms on the same side of the equation. 4. Move the variable to the left hand side of the equation. 5. Add or subtract the constant to get the variable alone. 6. Multiply or divide by the coefficient in front of the variable to solve the equation. A. 3a 5 11 B. 1 4x x 3 +5 = +5 x x 3a = 6 1 5x = a = 5x = 5 5 x = 3 C. 4x 1 10 D. 3x 4 4x 3 x 3x 4x x 1 4x + 1 = x + 3 x = 4x 0 x = = 4x x = = x To check a solution, substitute the answer back into the original equation. 1 4(3) = = 0 0 = 0 Since this is a true statement, x = 3 is a solution.

Let a = 0 since 0 > -5, so 5(0) 3 > - 9 (4 3(0)) 0 3 > - 9 (4 0) -3 > > - 13 Since this is a true statement, a > -5 is the solution.
