Operations in algebra

Add the following expressions:

1 3a + b , 4a – 2b , 6a + 3b
2 2ab + 3ac – 4 , 14ac – 4ab + 6 , 12ab + 5 – ac
3 9ab2 – 6a2b + 3a , 2ab2 + 4a2b – 4a , 4ab2 – 3a2b + 2a

Subtract the following expressions

1 From 6pq – 7p + 1 subtract 11pq + 4p + 7

 2 From 11xyz + 2yx + 3yz subtract 2xyz + 4xy –3xz
3 Subtract 3xy – 4pq + 7 from 4xy – 2pq + 8

TRY AGAIN To indicate an exponent in
TRY AGAIN this worksheet use the ^
TRY AGAIN found on the number 6
key. So 11ab^2 is eleven
a b squared and 6a^2b is
six a sqaured b
