In mathematics, we can divide expression in two ways. That is -
1) Numerical Expression
2) Algebraic Expression
2) Algebraic Expression
Here, by the word 'expression' or 'mathematical expression' we would like to define it as mathematical phrase that contains number,operator,variable or symbol etc.
Numerical Expression
A numerical expression contains numbers and operations. For example:
5+ 3
35÷7
53·4
94 - 31
102 - 9·3
All are example of numerical expression because it contains only number and operator.
Word problem: Robin plays football for 1.5 hours in the morning and 1 hour in the afternoon. He does this for a total of 30 days. Write a numerical expression with parentheses for the total number of hours Robin played football.
30 · (1.5 + 1)
Algebraic Expression
An algebraic expression contains numbers,operations and variables . For example:
5x + 3
9y - 8
6 + 3d
x/9
Word problem: Marco's mom gave him 'd' dollars for his allowance for a week. He also earned $14.55 for his newspaper route that week. How much money does Marco have? Write your answer as an expression.
