How to solve Grade 5 expressions problems

Real problems from these worksheets, solved one step at a time — the same explanations your child sees when practicing online.

  1. Example 1

    Evaluate 4x − 6 for x = 7

    1. Replace x with 7: 4 × 7 − 6.
    2. Multiply before you add or subtract: 4 × 7 = 28, so now you have 28 − 6.
    3. Subtract: 28 − 6 = 22.
    4. So 4x − 6 = 22 when x = 7.

    Answer: 22

  2. Example 2

    9 × (7 − 3) = ?

    1. Parentheses first: 7 − 3 = 4, so now you have 9 × 4.
    2. Multiply: 9 × 4 = 36.
    3. So 9 × (7 − 3) = 36.

    Answer: 36

  3. Example 3

    8 × 2 + 3 = ?

    1. Multiply before you add or subtract: 8 × 2 = 16, so now you have 16 + 3.
    2. Add: 16 + 3 = 19.
    3. So 8 × 2 + 3 = 19.

    Answer: 19
