Evaluating Expressions (Word) - Answer Key - Determine the value of each expression

Sep 30, 2026

Worksheet answer key for evaluating algebraic expressions in a word-problem context. Problems determine total distance, items, and points by substituting given variable values into provided linear expressions. Scenarios include repeated quantities across several practices or rounds, adding constants for extra totals, and computing results for specified m, c, s, p, t values. Includes six primary expression equations and corresponding numeric answers.

Evaluating Expressions (Word) Name: | Determine the value of each expression for the given value of the variable.
1) Faye swam m meters during each of 4 practices. She then swam 27 more meters atthe meet. The expression below shows how far she swam. Find the total when m = 57.
4 × m + 27 =
2) Robin arranged 4 shelves with c cans and 20 jars on each shelf. The expression below shows how many items she arranged. Find the total when c = 32.
4 × (c + 20) =
3) Billy earned s points in each of 4 rounds of the game. He started with 5 bonus points. The expression below shows how many points he earned. Find the total when s = 52.
4 × s + 5 =
4) Dave tossed 4 salads. He mixed c croutons and 20 olives into each salad. The expression below shows how many toppings he used. Find the total when c = 52.
4 × (c + 20) =
