To find the value of an algebraic expression, numbers must be substituted for the variables. In algebraic expressions, numbers substituted for the value of a variable are called the replacement set. The answers that are generated when the replacement set is substituted for the variables, are called the solution set.


Replacement Set

Expression

Solution Set

x = {4}

2x + 6

{14}

2(4) + 6


Replacement Set

Expression

Solution Set

x = { 5, 6, 7}

3x + 2
3(5) + 2
3(6) + 2
3(7) +2

{17, 20, 23}

a = {3}; b = {2,5}

2a - 3b
2(3) - 3(2)
2(3) - 3(5)

{0, -9}
