Algebraic Expressions Worksheet for Class 7
What Are Algebraic Expressions?
An algebraic expression is a mathematical phrase made up of numbers, variables, and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Examples:
- x + 5
- 3y – 2
- 7a + 4b
- 2m – 3n + 8
In algebraic expressions, letters such as x, y, and z are called variables.
Exercise 1: Identify Variables and Constants
Write the variables and constants in each expression.
- x + 8
- 5y – 3
- 7a + 10
- 9m – 2n
- 4p + 6q – 5
- 3x + 12
- 2a – 9
- 5k + 7
- b – 11
- 6t + 4
Exercise 2: Identify the Coefficient
Find the coefficient of the variable.
- 7x
- 9y
- 15a
- 4m
- 12p
- 18b
- 20k
- 11n
- 14t
- 25z
Exercise 3: Classify the Expressions
Write whether the expression is a monomial, binomial, or trinomial.
- 5x
- x + 3
- a + b + c
- 7m
- p – 5
- x + y + z
- 10n
- 4a – 3b
- k + m + n
- 8t
Exercise 4: Simplify Like Terms
- 3x + 5x
- 7a + 2a
- 10y – 4y
- 8m + 6m
- 12p – 5p
- 9k + 11k
- 15b – 7b
- 20t + 10t
- 14n – 8n
- 6x + 4x
Exercise 5: Evaluate the Expressions
Find the value of each expression.
- x + 7 when x = 5
- 3y when y = 4
- 2a + 5 when a = 6
- 4m – 3 when m = 8
- 5p + 2 when p = 3
- 7n – 4 when n = 5
- 2k + 10 when k = 7
- 3t – 1 when t = 9
- 6b + 4 when b = 2
- 8z – 6 when z = 5
Exercise 6: Fill in the Blanks
- In the expression 5x + 3, x is a _______.
- The number multiplied by a variable is called the _______.
- An expression with one term is called a _______.
