How to solve Grade 6 expressions problems

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

Example 1
Evaluate 4x − 7 for x = 4
1. Replace x with 4: 4 × 4 − 7.
2. Multiply before you add or subtract: 4 × 4 = 16, so now you have 16 − 7.
3. Subtract: 16 − 7 = 9.
4. So 4x − 7 = 9 when x = 4.
Answer: 9
Example 2
(3 × 3) − 8 = ?
1. Parentheses first: 3 × 3 = 9, so now you have 9 − 8.
2. Subtract: 9 − 8 = 1.
3. So (3 × 3) − 8 = 1.
Answer: 1
Example 3
4 − 5 × 10 = ?
1. Multiply before you add or subtract: 5 × 10 = 50, so now you have 4 − 50.
2. Subtract: 4 − 50 = −46.
3. So 4 − 5 × 10 = −46.
Answer: −46
