assignment # 1 = - What does it mean to simplify? What does it mean to solve? What does it mean to evaluate? Write in complete sentences. You may use your book to help you. Please give an example of each.

a) To simplify means to reduce to its lowest value that it can reach. Such as a fraction. Example....18/36 = 9/18 = 1/2

b) To solve means to answer a specific question asked or given. Example....4 + 3 = 7 We solved this by first taking four, then adding three to it and your answer is seven.

c) There are lots of different ways that you can evaluate a problem. To evaluate a problem is to go step by step through each problem to gets its correct answer. You can evaluate an expression. Example.... 3/4 & 6/8 Equivalent fractions are fractions that describe the same part of a whole number.

assignment #2 = - Walk me through the steps of simplifying the following expression: -2x + 12 - 3x + 4 - 3y. Please use complete sentences. Walk me through the steps of evaluating the following: -2x + 3y, x=-2 y = -4. Please use complete sentences. -2x+12-3x+4-3y a. You first do -2x-3x which equals -5x. (+12-5x+4-3y) b. Next you do +12+4 which equals 16. And you answer should be
 * (16-5x-3y)**

-2x+3y x = -2 y= -4 a. You would first do -2 times -2 which equals 4. (4+3y) b. Next you do 3 times -4 which equals -12. (4+-12) c. Then you do 4 plus -12. And your answer should be
 * (-8)**
